Edwards bought his Senate seat with 6 million of his own money he got from winning lawsuits against doctors. If he finds another political office he wants to buy I don't think 6 million will be enough seeing as he didn't even carry his own state in the Tuesday election and his Senate seat went to a Republican. He does still have millions from other lawsuits that have helped drive up the cost of health care that many of you are paying for in higher preminums and drug costs. We here in Florida passed a constitutional bill on Tuesday that will restrict lawyers to a payout of $150,000 but will still leave open how much patients get. The point being, if lawyers only will receive $150,000 if they win a case, they might only file suits based on real injuries not wishful thinking.
