I agree this would be politically problematic, but not for the reason you provide. Doctors already spend tons of money on private malpractice insurance; this national pool would just be a different administration of the same insurance payments. In fact, the pool could be effected with different regulation of the existing private insurers and changes to malpractice law. And if done right, it could plausibly lower overall insurance fee burden on doctors.
- Scoundreller 10y ago> Doctors already spend tons of money on private malpractice insurance In Ontario Canada, the government reimburses most of their malpractice insurance fees. As a result, they're currently paying 1986 rates: http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/ohip/mlp/announcements.aspx http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/ohip/mlp/announc...
