malpractice insurance california

In California, are the doctors should have malpractice insurance?
Weather or not, doctors are required to carry insurance, what happens when you have a legitimate case of malpractice and the doctor says he has no insurance? Is there any recourse?
That's a laugh and a half. Yes, definitely in California! People Sue here for the craziest things …. as the cut in the mouth 'Sharp' ice. It also makes it almost impossible to see a doctor here because it is very expensive.
