What a stupid cliché--bashing lawyers. I've had several and they did their jobs very well. If you would like to see more medical practitioners don't hold your breath. Lack of immigration reform means that the serious shortage of medical professionals in the U.S. won't be going away anytime soon. Considering the level of white collar criminality in American society I'd say we still need as many qualified legal professionals as possible since legal remedies are the only things that make people take responsibility for unethical and criminal conduct including medical malpractice and fraud. No amount of lawyers or medical practitioners is likely to save ignorant Americans from themselves however.
