Does anyone know how the Canadian system handle the John Edwards types? Any national medical system should not be a welfare system for Trial Lawyers as well. As with many things, we are not on the same wave length. I see goods and bads in trial lawyers. One of the goods is that some of them, and Edwards was certainly one, make it possible for patients, damaged by the system, to recover some of those damages. That's a good. But, given our different perspectives, I still don't see the argument that the virtues/problems of trial lawyers would be more under the Canadian system than under the US one. If anything, and off the top of the head, it looks to me as if trial lawyers would have less of a role.
