And malpractice law is still very important. It's the one place where the common man can stand up, toe to toe with a big important company. And it needs to be there, too.

You're too idealistic. It's absolutely true that the laws need to be there in the event of a truly negligent doctor hurting someone, but you fail to realize just how badly medical malpractice laws are being abused.
The ideal: the "little guy" can stand up to "big and bad business" if he is hurt through carelessness or intention.
The reality: people are suing completely innocent doctors and companies just to get the big payout (i.e. lard-asses suing McDonalds for being fat blubber-butts (not a medical malpractice lawsuit, but falls along the same lines as it not being the company's fault)).

Malpractice incidents only affect one or two percent of the medical area, but that's necessary in a place like this where occasionally doctors will perform an operation drunk, blah de blah.

Malpractice incidents affect far more than you know. Because of millions of dollars paid out to people in phony malpractice lawsuits, doctors are forced to raise their price in order to compensate. You end up screwing the "little guy" instead of helping.
Now, you're going to say John Edwards had no hand in making things worse by not ever, not even once, by picking up and running with a case in which the doctor was obviously innocent and the plaintiff obviously full of shit just because the payout was huge? Try not to let your idealism blind you.
