I don't know about lawyers but healthcare does not seem to work this way. If your child is hit by a car in front of your house you call 911 and go to the closest hospital and do not stop to compare prices. You pay whatever exhorbitant rates they charge and there is little or no competition. It is difficult to apply capitalistic principals to a non-competitive industry.
