difficult to have a lot of sympathy for the few doctors that i know and have known...all are doing quite well *after* paying required insurance costs and most earn more than me but if this trend continues governments will eventually be able to take over insuring these people... in effect forcing them to function as quasi government employees...added to the already burdensome control by insurance companies and medicare the incentive to go into medicine will be largely removed and the quality of care may suffer greatly

Difficult to have a lot of sympathy for jealous socialists who think no one should be allowed to *EARN* more than they.

How many people are aware that the increasing insurance costs are not largely driven by the awards for claims, but are due to the decreasing profitability of the bond market. The insurance companies invest in bonds, when there is little profit there preimuns go up. It really is that simple. The joke is that there is no interest on anyone's part to report this truth, so the issue is driven by emotions.
