Congressional Budget Office doesn’t want to hear about what it missed in “tort reform” analysis
Monday, December 14, 2009
Huffington Post: In a post titled “What I’ve Learned About the Congressional Budget Office and Health Care,” Joanne Doroshow of the Center for Justice & Democracy writes about the CBO’s recent pronouncement that “tort reform,” including limits on damages paid to victims of medical negligence, would reduce health care costs by $54 billion over the next decade. Doroshow says she was “shocked both by a number of assumptions CBO made and things they ignored to reach even this figure” and goes on to describe a frustrating discussion she had about it with CBO officials.
