Medical Malpractice Crisis is over

[Guest guest]

Doctors:For those of you watching the mainstream media on the medical malpractice "crisis" in this country, you will be relieved to know that it is now officially over.  http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2006/03/01/66059.htmOf course, for those of you who have been looking at the actual studies on this topic, you know that the only reason why malpractice insurance was going up, was not due to malpractice suits at all (which have fallen dramatically over the past 10 years), but instead insurance company greed.  They have effectively pitted the doctors against the lawyers and then walked away laughing with the profits.You will notice that even this insurance industry magazine is noting that there is no correlation between the "crisis" being over, and malpractice caps that were instituted in states.  Maybe we can now turn to the real malpractice crisis which is that medical negligence is killing 300,000 americans per year, and that no one seems to really care.   Respectfully, DeShaw, DC, JD
