I believe doctors pay out of pocket (At least the ones that setup their own private practice do), so it would incentivize them to keep costs low so they can pocket the money.

What’s the salary difference between doctors and cops of similar experience levels on average in the US?

Surprisingly on par, some of the guys are making more than faang engineers

I don't know and it's not the point of my comment? I'm only talking about how it aligns inscentives.

If there’s a big difference then it will certainly impact on willingness (and ability) to pay, depending on the cost of premiums, so I’d say it’s very relevant.

Good, I want them to have pressure to not get sued, so their premiums stay low. If we as a society decide this kind of policing is too expensive, then we can invest that money in other models.
