a doctor can do the all right things for 30 years and BAM along comes an
unhappy customer who sues. guess what happens to his malpractice
insurance coverage? he takes a BIG hit in INCREASED premiums for his
malpractice insurance. who do you think pays for this increase in the cost of doing business?

you and I do and will continue to pay the ever increasing costs. and,
if he gets sued enough times, his malpractice insurance carrier WILL DROP
him like a hot potato (sometimes they drop him after only ONE lawsuit, BTW). he is then forced to CLOSE HIS DOORS. I wonder what the stats are for doctors being forced out of business in this fashion?

again,

lawyers 10
citizens 0
