i don't know if senator gregg's numbers are right. what i do know is the cost of defensive medicine is in excess of $300 billion a year, based on a study by the american medical association, it's been extrapolated forward from 1993, i think. but here's what happens. you stop thinking about the patient and you start thinking about how do i cover myself in case something doesn't go right. you undermine the confidence in the physician so that now they're spending dollars, very scarce resource dollars, on patients that they don't need. and actually it hurts them because when we order a ct scan on somebody that doesn't need it, when we do a test on somebody that they don't need it, we're spending money and we're also putting them at risk. one of the things we ought to do is find out, good addition to this is a study of what is the cost because there's not a current study out there on what the cost of defensive medicine is. but i can tell you it's high. i can tell you i do it all the time. because to not do it, you lose your insurance becau
