Refuting Angoff on medical liability

In work sponsored by the Health Coalition on Liability and Access, Rob Hoyt of the University of Georgia and Lars Powell of the University of Arkansas offer another critique ("Profitability in Medical Professional Liability Insurance", PDF) of the much-criticized Center for Justice and Democracy (CJD)/Jay Angoff report claiming that insurers are overcharging for medical malpractice coverage. Martin Grace thinks this critique is more thorough and devastating than the one cited in these columns a couple of weeks ago done by actuaries with the Towers Perrin firm.
