"I am shocked, shocked I tell you!"

For years I have loyally believed all of those, predominately but not exclusively, Republican American legislators who have been telling us for so long that the reason that OBY/GYNs can no longer "practise their love" is because of extortionately high malpractice insurance costs. And why the premiums for this cover so ridiculously high you ask.

Well let me tell you. It is because the insurance companies are gouging the doctors.

Hey wait a minute. That can't be right can it?

(The full report (PDF) from the American Association for Justice, based on the financial statements of fifteen major malpractice insurance firms is available here.)
