if they insist in not lowering second round fees on their overpriced services, WHY NOT make it a double header and strike a blow for cost effectiveness?

Tomorrow I am going to the doctor for the third time for the same problem. Should I ask him to charge me half price because the earlier treatments didn't work?

How does your suggestion for price limits support your earlier stated desire for a free market in the legal profession? There is already a free market. If one lawyer's fee is too high, you are free to find another lawyer who's fee suits you more.

The Free Market system IS a price limitation. I fail to see a lawyer putting a new Rolls Royce in the garage if everybody agrees that their fees are ridiculously overpriced and nobody is willing to meet it.

As for your doctor analogy, so long as the treatments are working step by step, they deserve what they are being paid. If, like lawyers, the doctor just screws the proverbial pooch and FAILS HIS CLIENT, there's this thing called Malpractice!
