Independent Medical Review: Expanding Legal Remedies To Achieve Managed Care Accountability, Leatrice Berman-Sandler Jan 2004

Independent Medical Review: Expanding Legal Remedies To Achieve Managed Care Accountability, Leatrice Berman-Sandler

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Author Leatrice Berman-Sandier reports on independent medical review (IMR), a state-based statutory remedy used to resolve disputes over coverage between patients and their health plans. Ms. Berman-Sandler explores the connection between ERISA preemption and IMR, and opines that in light of recent Supreme Court decisions, the stage has been set for expansion of IMR. Accordingly, Ms. Berman-Sandler concludes that there are strong legal and policy reasons for state legislatures to broaden the application of IMR and for the Court to continue to narrow ERISA preemption in order to increase accountability in the managed care arena.

A Dutch Perspective: The Limits Of Lawful Euthanasia, Ubaldus Dr Vries Jan 2004

A Dutch Perspective: The Limits Of Lawful Euthanasia, Ubaldus Dr Vries

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Dutch author Ubaldus de Vries reviews the current state of the euthanasia law in the Netherlands. The legislation, enacted in 2001, creates a medical exception that allows for euthanasia in cases where patients experience "hopeless and unbearable suffering." A brief history of the Dutch approach to euthanasia is set forth, case law is reviewed, and the unique role of the doctor is examined in seeking to understand the extent of one's right to euthanasia in the Netherlands. Because the courts must determine what constitutes "hopeless and unbearable suffering," Professor de Vries analyzes the judicial interpretation of "suffering" and concludes that …

Conventional Wisdom, De-Emption And Uncooperative Federalism In International Environmental Agreements, Kirk W. Junker

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

What powers do the several states of the United States have individually to enter into environmental agreements with other sovereign nations? In this article, the author reviews the powers that states may have generally and then specifically regarding environmental agreements. Several traditional tools of analysis have historically been used including the constitutional doctrine of pre-emption, cooperative federalism and the foreign affairs doctrine.
