A trial-lawyer twosome
The idea that medical malpractice reform would ever appear on the agenda of a Kerry/Edwards administration is as likely as hearing a yodeling concert at the Metropolitan Opera ("Malpractice maelstrom," Editorial, Wednesday).
The Democratic Party, a wholly owned subsidiary of theAssociationofTrial Lawyers and the primary beneficiary of its political donations, will not bite the hand that pays it. The silver-tongued Mr. Edwards, a personal-injury lawyer who specialized in medical malpractice cases, earned his multiple millions in time-honored lawyerly fashion, by telling a slightly better story to the jury than opposing counsel.
As vice president, he will be well-situated to block tort-law reform, no matter the price to society as a whole.
