.@ezraklein @sarahkliff Where did you get the 200K+ medical error death figure? I'm seeing half that http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22053736
@politicalmath I’ve written a lot more about this here (http://bit.ly/1zXbOGo ) but its mostly that its a very hard issue to track.

@sarahkliff If medical error becomes a major "issue", we'll see less of it just b/c doctors will default to "Nope. Nothing could be done" -
@politicalmath Yes, certainly a tricky area here of what counts as preventable, and what is just the cost of doing medicine.
