You hit on something there. Malpractice suits are out of control. They drive far too large of a percentage of health care costs. Malpractice premiums are through the roof and the only way for practices to cover the cost is to raise fees. In Maryland, many doctors have to pay hundreds of thousands per year in malpractice insurance.
I've had numerous incidents where I could have sued a doctor or hospital and probably would have gotten a nice settlement. I have not sued.
