This is, indeed, a silly way to frame the argument, a better approach would be to restructure the malpractice law so that doctor's insurance premiums are lowered and they (hopefully) pass that on to the consumer. Let the malpractice lawyers eat some of the cost of the savings, not the doctors.

Why would they pass that on? There is no real competition. Wait times are measured in weeks, or months.

It's easier to get appointments with CEOs of SP500 companies than with your own doctor sometimes.
