Germany has successfully contained overall health-care costs while providing virtually universal access to high quality services. The country's medical and legal systems create a climate characterized by less pressure for malpractice litigation and greater efficiency of resolution. This analysis reviews characteristics that may be useful in reducing the $20 billion annual costs associated with medical malpractice in the United States. Some features of the German model may be unattractive. Further investigation appears warranted.
