RUSH: If John Edwards is going to require every one of us under his universal health care plan, socialized medicine, to go to the doctor all the time -- it's going to be mandatory; the government is going to make us go to the doctor -- then I have an idea. I think the government should make every American have access to a lawyer. I think the federal government should take over the whole legal field, just like they're taking over the whole health care industry. Take over the legal business. Set prices for all services. Set salaries for all attorneys. Everybody should be forced to go to a lawyer for preventive legal care. You must be sent to the lawyer for your will. You must be sent to a lawyer, a government lawyer, for your pre-nup. You must go to a lawyer for your real estate contracts and so forth. No lawyer will be allowed to make more than $200,000 a year, and every lawyer will be assigned an area of the country in which he will work. If we're going to do this in health care, if John Edwards wants to do this to the medical industry, well, why don't we just look at the same way of behaving under the legal system in this country and virtually everything else?
That would end. Everyone will get an appointed lawyer. Case closed.
Poor people only get poor lawyers. The rich receive superior legal care. Shouldn’t everyone have equal access to equal legal care? For years the poor had access to Free Care clinics. If that was good enough there wouldn’t be a push for socialized medicine, would there?

And LC - It’s not real! It’s Rush Limbaugh making a point at how stupid socialized medicine is!
Some one once posted a joke about “Socialized Sex Care.” Basically government managed prostitution.
It was funny as hell!
Depends on who wins the Presidency in 2008.
Go Rush go!

See, this is what happens when you implement Universal Spelling Care.
He’s talking about the FedGov providing legal service, not a local PD appointing one.
The local PD doesn’t appoint lawyers for those who can’ty afford them. The courts do. If it’s a Federal case, then the Federal gubmint appoints the lawyer.
In any event, it’s a moot point. Having a lawyer represent you in a criminal case in a right. A lot of folks will now stand up and say, “Healthcare isn’t a right.”
No because the purpose of local government is to see to it that you are guilty of some offense that you can be fined for as a means of paying taxes without calling them taxes.
Universal Legal Care would mean the government paying someone to keep you from paying the government. Not gon’ happen.

That Spells Socialism. Laws yes!

Everybody should get free attorneys for lawsuits *and* free attorneys for defending against lawsuits. What could go wrong?
