Massive malpractice insurance premiums are not the worst of the problem. A single mistake--and anyone, even the most careful of us all, could make a mistake (and given enough time, will)--could result in an award that exceeds the amount of insurance and completely destroys the physician and his family. No one can afford to take such a chance. Some sanity must be brought into the system!

You are of course 100% correct.

Let's also look at a different industry: the unregulated corrupt shyster business.

Each day, every day, enormous mistakes and (more commonly) malicious theft, damage and other intentional evil is inflicted by the shysters upon millions of victims.

Try to get lawyers to pursue legal malpracticed cases. Try to get justice from the secret Bar Assocation Grievance Committees.

My point is that shysters have made themselves immune from the same standards they impose upon everyone else, especially the medical profession. Oh they will get all defensive, lie through their teeth that it isn't true, stoop to argumentum ad hominum, etc. But they are just being deceitful of course.

Corruption and mendacity are the foundation of "Liberalism". Corruption empowers them, and if they were truthful, they would not be "Liberals" in the first place.
