Abstract
Charles Dubin's massive review of the Canadian Medical Protective Association supports the CMPA's policy of maintaining a large reserve for malpractice coverage, but calls for a major overhaul of the association's fee structure. Regardless of the risks their practices pose, says Dubin, all doctors should pay the same fee in order to keep physicians practising in high-risk specialties such as obstetrics and orthopedic surgery. The alternative, said CMPA president Dr. Bill Thomas, is an exodus from certain specialties because of massive bills for malpractice insurance.
