Exit And Voice In American Health Care, Marc A. Rodwin Jul 1999

Exit And Voice In American Health Care, Marc A. Rodwin

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Until the 1960s, the main way for patients to affect health care institutions was by choosing their doctors or hospitals or leaving those with which they were dissatisfied. They had few avenues to exert their voice to bring about change through complaints, politics, or other means. The balance between exit and voice shifted in the 1960s, as the women's health and disability rights movements brought about change by increased use of political voice and, to a lesser degree, by exit. With the growth of managed care since the 1980s, enrolled individuals have had fewer opportunities for exit and greater potential …

Equity Pooling And Media Ownership, Peter Chinloy May 1999

Equity Pooling And Media Ownership, Peter Chinloy

Federal Communications Law Journal

This Article outlines a method of pooling equity for acquiring a portfolio of media properties. Each participant receives a security containing an investment return and a management right.

Alternatively, an investor not wishing management receives a higher compensating return. The procedure is particularly suited to media properties dependent on local advertising such as radio, "free" community newspapers, and television outlets. These properties …

Searching For The Holy Grail: The Human Genome Project And Its Implications , Allison Morse Jan 1999

Searching For The Holy Grail: The Human Genome Project And Its Implications , Allison Morse

Journal of Law and Health

This Paper will explore the ethical considerations of the reductionist paradigm that the Human Genome Project represents, and analyze how this paradigm affects our political institutions, our family relationships, and even our identity. Part Two will provide the scientific background for a discussion of the Human Genome Project. It will begin by defining two competing theoretical constructs scientists use when exploring biological phenomenon: reductionism and organism. This Part will then offer a rudimentary explanation of how genes function. Yet even this rudimentary explanation illustrates the complexity involved in the functioning of genes, leaving the reductionist notions of genes as the …
