Help refuting anti-Edwards rhetoric?

[LynzM]

Hey all, was having a discussion with a friend via IM about the current candidates, talking about Edwards, and he said the following:

"making his money on medical malpractice lawsuits. he is half the reason alone why our Health Insurance is sky high. i do realize that it brings up the whole issue about how our system is broken but it is the one in place and he misused the judical system to get himself rich. thats just my opinion on the whole deal, i realize everyone who is running abused their power to some extent. of course when i said 1/2 i was not being literal, but he did significantly play a part."

I know this might seem like anti-Edwards trolling, but I promise, it isn't. I really am looking for some info about the trials he's talking about, and some sources to give back to him about it. Seems like he might support Edwards otherwise, if I can bring him some good info.

Help?
