Every time someone wants to "ship lawyers off to some island," I just cringe. People don't like lawyers because they are paid to take on difficult problems - like when an insurance company refuses to pay for a medical procedure, even though the doctor the insurer hired to evaluate it says its necessary.

I know a lot of lawyers, and the overwhelming majority of them just want their client to be treated fairly.

Fortunately bad faith is the exception and not the rule. But why should we shut out those who have truly been wronged because you don't like the fact that someone got a lawyer to help them? I know its easy to say, but if it were you that couldn't get an insurer to pay your legitimate claim wouldn't you want a lawyer's help?
