Malpractice InsuranceThe Propaganda

• KEEP OUR DOCTORS IN NEVADA
• In 2002, Nevada Insurance Companies and Doctors
  lobbied for caps on medical malpractice awards.
• In 2004, they again lobbied to remove the
  exceptions, for gross negligence, to these same
  caps

• Dont Gamble with your Health Care.

Malpractice InsuranceThe Truth

• Malpractice Costs Amount to Less than 2 of
  Health Care Spending
• The Number of Physicians Up More than 40 Since
  1990
• Small Percentage of Doctors are Responsible for
  Most Malpractice Claims
• 5.9 of doctors paid 57.8 of all claims since
  1990
• 1.1 of doctors paid 20.2 of claims since 1990

• In order to squeeze out a little more profit, Dr.
  Desai gambled with your health and your life.
