When my fiance was in her clinical rotations, the OBGYN she was working for paid out almost $400k/year just for that one doctor's malpractice insurance.

My source on that is the head of OBGYN at Mt Auburn Hospital. 14 years ago when my son was born he was paying 600K. Now it's at' the 2 mill. number, the hospital is paying the bill

And you don't think that it may have some influence on why health care is so expense?

Also, that $400k/year for malpractice insurance is for only one doctor who has been in court a couple of times (as all medical professionals are) and never lost a case. Can you imagine how much the insurance is for a doctor that may have lost a case?
