Revenge of the Doctors - Nationalized Legal Care

Richard B. Rafal: A Doctor’s Plan for Legal Industry Reform - WSJ.com: "• Legal 'death panels.' Over 75? You will not be entitled to legal care for any matter. Why waste money on those who are only going to die soon? We can decrease utilization, save money and unclog the courts simultaneously. Grandma, you're on your own.

• Ration legal care. One may need to wait months to consult an attorney. Despite a perceived legal need, physician review panels or government bureaucrats may deem advice unnecessary. Possibly one may not get representation before court dates or deadlines. But that' s tough: What do you want for 'free'?

• Physician controlled legal review. This is potentially the most exciting reform, with doctors leading committees for determining the necessity of all legal procedures and the fairness of attorney fees. What a wonderful way for doctors to get even with the sharks attempting to eviscerate the practice of medicine."


Here's one sector of the economy I'd like to see big government "reform." It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys.
