Dumbshit. His insurance pays his loses, protecting his assets. You
don't get the insurance plus the assets.

Insurance wouldn't help much if that were the case, now would it?
Idiot.

You seem proud of the fact that you're a dumbshit.

I doubt that the million dollars used in the malpractice insurance for
the doctor is a good figure to use as an example. The hospital has
coverage and the doctors policy has a larger face amount than one
million. The liability is almost never 100% on any one person in a
health care setting when someone dies.

And doctors and other professionals form LLC type companies to separate
their professional life from their personal assets.

I'm surprised that Scott would say that insurance is only purchased by
many professionals because it is required.

My cousin is a doctor and has plenty of assets. And I'm sure a hefty
malpractice insurance bill as well . But he is also an employee of a
hospital (last I heard) and any hospital wanting to keep good doctors
will make sure the CYA (with their own competent lawyers) thing is
taken care of.

If anything, I'm sure my cousin see's his malpractice insurance as a
(huge) liability on his business balance sheet. I'm also sure any
(self employed or otherwise) doctor with half a brain would consult an
attorney before taking on the (exposure) involved modern health care.
