And it should be. 99% of the population doesn't have the intellect to do it. There are very few professions you can say that about.
I don't think there is anything "stupid" about going to medical school. It is extremely competitive, and only the brightest get in. Expensive malpractice insurance is just a product of our litigious society. I'm sure if the MD's didn't have to pay it, their overhead would go down and competition would force down their fees.
I don't really know what else to say. I really like my doctor, my dentist, and all the specialists my family sees. Whenever we have a problem, I feel good knowing that they will be there to competently diagnose it and help us get through it. My family is fortunate enough to have quality insurance at about $8000/yr through my wife's employer. If we didn't have access to that, I would expect to spend 2-3x that for insurance. I would still buy it. Nothing is more important than your health, and quality health care is expensive.
Maybe the real problem is your health insurance plan, and not your doctor?
