State of Arizona v. Maricopa County Med Soc. (view source)

, 04:53, June 30, 2007no edit summary
In the case, 70% of physicians in Maricopa County (which includes Phoenix) agreed not to charge patients more than set fees for specific services. The physicians argued that this benefited consumers (patients), but the Court found it to be automatically illegal under the antitrust laws due to the risk of abuse whenever any horizontal (among competitors) price-fixing occurs.
