It's the over 29 years part the changes the impact of those stats. 19,098 claims is 659 a year - which isn't nothing, but in comparison to the good done, which is a high bar, not just 1:1 or 2:1, it's still worth it. If the harm resulting from care had to be nearly zero or not take the benefit into account, we'd have to look at all the medical malpractice in the country and do away with hospitals altogether.
sounds a lot like the cops killing approximately 9 unarmed black people a year, vs. all the good they do during millions of interactions with civilians each year argument.
