Marc Breakstone and Ronald Gluck cast doubt on Massachusetts Medical Society claims regarding defensive medicine.

Marc Breakstone, Boston Personal Injury Lawyer and Ronald Gluck, Boston Medical Malpractice Attorney of the Massachusetts Law Firm Breakstone, White & Gluck have publically cast doubt on Massachusetts Medical Society claims regarding defensive medicine.

The Massachusetts Medical Society has suggested that "defensive medicine" is significantly increasing health care costs in Massachusetts. The MMS claims doctors are ordering more than a billion dollars yearly for unnecessary tests due to concern for medical malpractice. As Marc Breakstone, Massachusetts Personal Injury Lawyer of Breakstone, White & Gluck told the Boston Globe, managed care reduces the likelihood of wasteful and unnecessary medical spending. Ronald Gluck explained to the National Law Journal that several questions have risen concerning the reliability of the data.
