The obgyn is about the most expensive malpractice insurance you can get. And some how they are the doctors that take cash and don't over charge people, and can stay in business.

How odd.. Stay in business. Humm...

Is that the same as when we had to pay for my wifes spinal thing, they wanted to charge us $3,000 at the hospital. But we got it down to $600, cost of crap and doctors time?

The guy should be sued for trying to charge that much.
