I saw a chart of OB/GYN premiums where the cost in Colorado and
Wisconsin is $20,000 and in NY and Florida $120,000 for the same
coverage. But in Dade county the premium is +$200,000.
So just blaming lawyers won't do as an analysis, though I suspect Dade
county is a lawyer heaven and that accounts for the high premiums there

I suppose the real answer would be to get a comprehensive list of what
doctors pay for various specialties across the country. I will see if
my ex can come up with that. I bet she already knows someone who has
it.
That still ignores the defensive medicine costs.

Just as an example using the cost of a root canal:

Downtown, DC: $3,000
Bethesda, MD: $2,500
Rockville, MD: $2,200
Gaithersburg, MD: $2,000
Damascus, MD: $1,700
Mount Airy, MD: $1,400

The costs vary depending upon lots of variables, even within 20 miles of
Washington, DC. The biggest one in the DC area being the cost of the
space need for your office and then the cost of the hired help. The
supplies are the same the procedures are the same.

Dentists don't get sued as often as OB/GYNs and I would imagine that
people in Miami (Dade County) are not as tolerant of the vagaries of
life as the people in Colorado or Wisconsin. Sometimes the genes just
don't mix well.
