California physicians face insurance crunch says state official
State Insurance Commissioner Gleason Payne warns up to 6000 California doctors may lose malpractice coverage in May. He predicts premiums could double or triple for most of the 25,000 physicians as industry losses hit 60 million dollars in 1974. Argonaut Insurance threatens 4000 Northern California doctors with withdrawal May 1, and Pacific Indemnity nears nonrenewal for 2000 Los Angeles area physicians. Payne urges emergency legislation to create mandatory malpractice coverage as premiums rise and doctors pay higher visit fees. He expects Argonaut to pull out of California, leaving only limited insurers and a fragile market.
