The industry gets to set its own odds, decide what to charge, and when and if it will pay a claim.

Are you suggesting that the "crises" in malpractice (and other types of) insurance happen to hit about the exact same time that the stock market tanks, times at which it is more difficult for insurance companies to make a profit on investments from policyholder premiums?
