Do general practicioners have to have malpractice insurance to practice medicine?
Question:
Answers:
No they do not. Doctors do not have to have the insurance it would just be stupid not to have it.
Mistakes are sometimes easy to make, sad but true. Docs are only human and seems everyone is sue crazy. Another point is that some docs are incompetent and need to pay for their mistakes.
So for whatever reason, it would be futile for a doctor to practice medicine without some type of insurance.
