If ML is more accurate than doctors at the task, seems like the liability insurance should be lower.

But yes, I agree that the US needs major tort reform regardless. I just don’t think tort is the major barrier compared to occupational licensing & the FDA though.

Sure, but who pays for that insurance? It probably isn't someone currently buying it and that makes ubfront costs higher.
