Perhaps the answer is stricter physician licensing as well as tort reform. I heard a stat on NPR that 10% of the doctors are responsible to 90% of the malpractice lawsuits. I don't know if these doctors are poor doctors or in high risk fields (kind of a problem with statistics). But if you can get rid of the legitimately bad doctors and limit ridiculous lawsuit, we might get somewhere.

But that story is sick. There have been numerous new stories in North Texas about obstetricians quitting because of exhorbitant insurance costs.
