Talk about deep pockets!! Blaming John Edwards for why the cost of medications in this country is ludicrous, but that's JMO.



I'm lucky enought to work for a company that pays 100% of the costs of prescription drugs as long as it's generic. I've never had a single doctor - and boy do I see a lot of them - make me take a brand name over a generic.

As for your quote above, I think it's just absolutely scary that you would have that opinion. Edwards is but one of thousands of plaintiff's attorneys. Do the math. One attorney (Edwards) has amassed a fortune in a relatively short career (estimated to have an estate worth over $50 million). Say, very conservatively, there are 200 successful medical malpractice attorneys who have faired as well. That's $10 BILLION in personal wealth from this line of extortion. Also keep in mind that they usually only get 30-40% of the judgment/settlement. That adds another $25 BILLION or so for the class or plaintiffs. Are you getting the point?
