Repeat after me:
Malpractice premiums are not correlated to malpractice claim payouts. Period. 2000-2006, the amount collected in premiums rose 120%, while over the same time frame the amount paid out to claims decreased 14%.
"Defensive medicine" is non-reality-based, head-up-ass flat-out expensive crap, and you should stop practicing it and start questioning why your malpractice provider charges what it does.
