ap. Fear of malpractice adds to health costs.

A small study, and it doesn't give a cost. It's been reported nationally
for
a long time that it adds a few percentage points to the cost.

More right-wing bs to suggest it's a huge factor.


Insurance is $100k a year or higher. That is part of the cost too.


Huh? Not sure what you're trying to say...

The cost of insurance is part of the cost of insurance?


I didn't mean it that way but you are right. Malpractice insurance IS
part of the cost of Health insurance. Basically about the same portion
as the doctor's take home pay. (both about $100,000)


Ok. Now I'm curious... how did you mean it?
