I think that people often sue for things that are not medical malpractice. Sometimes people are just upset they did not get the result the wanted although everything was done correctly. When things are done incorrectly, then that is a reason for action.
It is not to our benefit to have doctors faced with exorbitant insurance rates. They pass that cost on to consumers. Also, it encourages, IN MHO, an environment where care is REDUCED because they are pressured in to seeing even more patients in the same amount of time to meet the bottom line. I feel that encourages more not less accidents. I work in insurance (as a regulator of that industry) and am NOT a fan of managed care for this reason.
