    This is why I think the single payer model should be expanded to the judiciary, let the govt haggle over lawyer’s fees and let the people have access to justice without needing to pay tens of thousands just for their own lawyer.

      Honest question: Would someone be able to still hire/use their own attorney in such a system?

        I’d imagine it’d be like having your own personal doctor under single payer health care, depending on the system the most you’d have to front at point of service is a small “co-pay”, ultimately though you would still be able to “hire” whichever lawyer you think will best represent your judiciary interests.

          So we’d end up with a pay-to-win system that’s little different from the current system.

          I don’t know what the answer is - it’s certainly not a simple problem.
