Actually, they are probably not getting better medical outcomes per buck of medical expenditure. It may look that way because of differences in the way the medical expenses are counted, and because the U.S. legal system forces huge incremental costs onto our system that are not actual medical expenditures. Some of my best friends (and my son) are lawyers, but I still think tort reform is part of the solution to the health care conundrum in the U.S.
