Minnesota: Leading The Way On Canadian Prescription Medicine Importation, Kevin Goodno, Karen Janisch
Minnesota: Leading The Way On Canadian Prescription Medicine Importation, Kevin Goodno, Karen Janisch
William Mitchell Law Review
In the United States, about $160 billion is spent on prescription medicines each year, with Minnesotans spending about $3 billion. The costs of prescription medicines receive so much attention in large part because, although prescription medicine costs constitute only 10.5% of total health care spending, they account for 23% of the total out-of-pocket costs that people incur when purchasing health care. Minnesota has been a leader in controlling prescription medicine costs. It has aggressively used purchasing pools when possible, and encouraged the use of lower cost, generic prescription medicines when appropriate. Even with these efforts to control costs, prescription medicines …
Aetna V. Davila/Cigna V. Calad: A Missed Opportunity, Leonard A. Nelson
Aetna V. Davila/Cigna V. Calad: A Missed Opportunity, Leonard A. Nelson
William Mitchell Law Review
On June 21, 2004, the United States Supreme Court decided the health law “case of the year” in the two consolidated cases of Aetna Health, Inc. v. Davila and CIGNA HealthCare of Texas, Inc. v. Calad. The Court held that section 502(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) “completely preempt[s]” and thus invalidates the tort liability provisions of the Texas Health Care Liability Act (THCLA). The case could potentially affect the rights of millions of Americans in a matter of vital concern—whether they will receive the health insurance coverage promised them if they become unable to …
Note: Capping Noneconomic Damages In Medical Malpractice Suits Is Not The Panacea Of The “Medical Liability Crisis”, Melissa C. Gregory
Note: Capping Noneconomic Damages In Medical Malpractice Suits Is Not The Panacea Of The “Medical Liability Crisis”, Melissa C. Gregory
William Mitchell Law Review
This note explores the history behind the rising costs of medical malpractice insurance rates and the responsive state legislative proposals to limit noneconomic damages. The current state of health care liability and the recent federal proposals that include caps on noneconomic damages are then discussed. This note analyzes the reasons why the federal government should not cap noneconomic damages, primarily because: (1) states are better able to regulate health care, (2) noneconomic damages are not the determinate cause of rising medical malpractice insurance rates, and (3) caps infringe on equal protection guarantees by limiting compensation of medical malpractice victims. This …
Off-Label Use And The Medical Negligence Standard Under Minnesota Law, Cynthia A. Moyer
Off-Label Use And The Medical Negligence Standard Under Minnesota Law, Cynthia A. Moyer
William Mitchell Law Review
Who decides whether a drug can be used off-label and under what circumstances? If a physician decides to prescribe a drug off-label, what legal issues, if any, should the physician be aware of? With the increased practice of prescribing drugs for off-label use, coupled with a somewhat dated and incomplete medical negligence standard in Minnesota, the intersection of the off-label use doctrine with Minnesota’s medical negligence standard is ripe for review. This article examines the off-label use doctrine and the medical negligence standard under Minnesota law. First, the article examines what the phrase “off-label use” means. Next, the article explores …
Conflicts Credentialing: Hospitals And The Use Of Financial Considerations To Make Medical Staffing Decisions, James W. Marks, Jayme R. Matchinski
Conflicts Credentialing: Hospitals And The Use Of Financial Considerations To Make Medical Staffing Decisions, James W. Marks, Jayme R. Matchinski
William Mitchell Law Review
The emerging practice of conflicts credentialing represents a significant change in the economic and professional interests of physicians and in the relationship between medical staffs and hospitals. In this article, the authors explain the interrelationship between the authority of hospitals and medical staffs to manage their respective affairs and the legal developments that have led toward conflicts credentialing. The authors next discuss the medical community’s reaction to conflicts credentialing and the legal challenges facing the use of economic factors in physician credentialing.
For The Well-Being Of Minnesota’S Foster Children: What Federal Legislation Requires, Gail Chang Bohr
For The Well-Being Of Minnesota’S Foster Children: What Federal Legislation Requires, Gail Chang Bohr
William Mitchell Law Review
This article will discuss the federal legislation and regulations—ASFA and CFSR—that hold the states accountable for the health and well-being of children and adolescents in foster care. This article will also discuss how the Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) program, the comprehensive health care services that states are required to provide through Medicaid, is used to address the health and wellbeing of children and adolescents in foster care. Critical to a discussion on the well-being of foster youth is the Chafee Foster Care Independence Act of 1999 that emphasized the states’ responsibility to ensure that youth in foster …
Note: A Painful Catch-22: Why Tort Liability For Inadequate Pain Management Will Make For Bad Medicine, James R. Blaufuss
Note: A Painful Catch-22: Why Tort Liability For Inadequate Pain Management Will Make For Bad Medicine, James R. Blaufuss
William Mitchell Law Review
Part I of this note reviews current issues relating to pain treatment. Part II examines theoretical justifications of proposed tort liability for inadequate pain management. Part III examines how pain mismanagement does not fit within traditional notions of medical malpractice. Part IV studies the issues relating to a physician’s role as “gate-keeper” for opioids and suggests why tort liability could compromise this legislatively imposed role. Part V examines the issue of pain management in the context of end-of-life care. Part VI discusses current shifts in pain management philosophies and explains how these movements will effectuate the changes suggested by advocates …
Raich, Health Care, And The Commerce Clause, Alex Kreit, Aaron Marcus
Raich, Health Care, And The Commerce Clause, Alex Kreit, Aaron Marcus
William Mitchell Law Review
This article considers to what extent health care may be viewed as a traditional area of state concern in the context of the Supreme Court’s revival of federalism principles, in particular limits on Congress’ Commerce Clause power, and what effect Raich v. Ashcroft, heard by the Court in the fall 2004 term, might have on these issues. Addressing these questions will necessarily involve exploration of medical marijuana policy as well as the role of the “traditional state interest” principle within the Commerce Clause. However, the central focus of this article is not what impact Raich may have on the Commerce …
Federal Whistleblower Protection: A Means To Enforcing Maximum-Hour Legislation For Medical Residents, Robert Neil Wilkey
Federal Whistleblower Protection: A Means To Enforcing Maximum-Hour Legislation For Medical Residents, Robert Neil Wilkey
William Mitchell Law Review
The extension of whistleblower protection to medical residents is by no means a panacea to current abusive working conditions. Roles exist for the federal government, the states, and institutional organizations such as the ACGME. Whistleblower protection provides one subtle yet effective regulatory tool that could undoubtedly result in enforcement of labor standards and ultimately better working conditions for medical residents.
