AMEN!
For example, in Illinois an OBGYN has to pay between 100 to 150 THOUSAND dollars a year for malpractice insurance alone. That’s why a good majority of the OBGYNs are moving up to Milwaukee; malpractice is A LOT less over the border. OBGYNs also get paid way more than anybody else from Public Aid, they love public aid. We get paid ZIP for public aid, so we don't see them. God, if I had to pay %50-70 of my total income to car insurance, I wouldn't drive.
Then, you get these fools that sue the doctor and sue for a million dollars when the most they SHOULD get is 10-20K...
Then you get people that wonder why the hell you have to pay so much at the Dr's office/Hospital.
