Edwards is an opportunistic pig. Very soon her illness will become a campaign advertisement for universal health care. The irony is that there is no other system in the world where she would have received the level of diagnostic care she has received in recent days. If fact she would probably die before being approved for another round of treatment. (Ya know, gotta spend those limited dollars on people who have a longer post treatment life expectancy.)

With their money? Not likrly. Rich people can get the best of everything, all the time, anywhere. Just remember how he got it.

As a ten year Cancer survivor myself and having Family Members right now with very sticky situations Prostate Cancer (2) and probable Stage 2 Colon Cancer, plus recent removal of Squamous carcinoma from another Family Member, I believe that People like Edwards that sue everything/anyone they can for Money and profit are mostly to blame for the best Doctors leaving. They also make it bad on any decent Lawyer that wants the best for his client that actually has a case.
