My insurance premiums go up on their own. They go up more when I file claims. I'm betting the same is true of hospitals.
Going back to the original comment, your not wrong that hospitals are thinking about malpractice in cost (or should be) my point was that it should be fairly measurable in the base case and tail cases should be few and covered by other riders or self insurance.
Every insurer will tell you they calculate all the probabilities and charge you the appropriate premium.
But we all know they just recoup losses next year. There’s no actuarial math going into it.
