Doctors get only about 10% of the health care dollar so cutting their earnings would have a very small impact on health care costs. As I understand it the bill reported out of the health committee would raise primary care physicians payments. $100,000.00 a year would barely cover the malpractice insurance. Of course I suspect there's very little competition in the medical malpractice field and that the rates are probably overpriced.
