You got one of the few true assholes. The problem is actually the other way around, insurance companies are driving doctors out of business. There is a huge shortage of obstatricians and pediatricians because the malpractice insurance is so expensive. Private practice doctors used to be very affordable, but not anymore and that is almost exclusively due to malpractice insurance premiums.
