A now retired radiologist I sail for was paying about a million in liability per year. Who's making profit again? |

I would like an insurance expert to chime in on that one.. Maybe $100,000 a year for liability but I doubt a mil a year that just seams way too high. Even a hundred thou is high. Like I said the hospitals are making money, like all corporations they all cry poor mouth. Don't let the doctors fool you they are making money as well... |

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? |
