Malpractice Crisis in Pennsylvania?
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page paper discussing a crisis that in 2006 appears to be abating. In the early years of the new century, Pennsylvania lost not only insurers but also physicians who chose to stop practicing medicine rather than pay greatly increased malpractice insurance premiums. Insurers exited the malpractice segment of their industry, leaving little competition and driving up premium costs to astronomical levels. Premiums are coming down as high premiums attract greater numbers of insurers. The paper is an exercise in critical analysis with five specific steps, the last of which is the conclusion that states that were most affected, including Pennsylvania, need to address the political and business infrastructure problems that allowed the crisis to develop. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
