As of 2005, twenty-one States had modified or abolished the collateral source rule. See Robinson v. Bates, 112 Ohio St. 3d 17, 22 (2006). Massachusetts itself has by statute modified the collateral source rule in medical malpractice actions. See G. L. c. 231, § 60G (allowing evidence of payments from collateral sources, except gratuitous payments, and requiring commensurate reduction of damages awarded to plaintiff).
