goddamn insuirance companies charge doctors offices MILLIONS each year in malpractice insurance.
that raises the cost of medical procedures, which in turn raises the deductibles everyone must pay which means the insurance companies actually pay out LESS than they should, even when they are earning billions in profit, pure profit, yearly.
fucking insurance companies lobbied the crooked fucking politicos in austin tx to get a law changed which mandated that malpractice insurance for midwives was to be higher than for doctors, even though midwives are used by most hospitals, and have a very low malpractice rate. This essentially made hospitals in austin have to fire their midwives, leaving their overwhelmed OBstetrics department to take up the slack.
nice
