The insurance companies have standards by which the drs. must qualify to be included in the various plans. If not, the docs are culled from the program. Lax regulation of Drug companies and no tort reform
puts the cost of Medical care out of reach. I could go on....

Malpractice insurance is not that high. Mine was only $28,000 this year. Also, I had to pay another $1200 so I can take the test to recertify for my specialty for the next 10 years.
The true cost of malpractice is not the premiums but cost of ordering tests to CYA.
