Working And Poor: The Increasingly Popular Practice Of Excluding Disabled Employees From Health Care Coverage, Maria O'Brien Apr 1994

Working And Poor: The Increasingly Popular Practice Of Excluding Disabled Employees From Health Care Coverage, Maria O'Brien

Faculty Scholarship

One might think, since passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA),' that the employment story for disabled employees or would-be disabled employees was cheerful, or at least improving. This may be true in so far as obtaining and retaining employment is concerned;' however, the ADA, because it permits employers and third-party insurers to continue to utilize traditional risk management techniques, has resulted in reduced or (in some cases) non-existent employee benefits for the disabled. At the same time, more and more employers are opting to self-insure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA),3 in …

"In The Twinkling Of An Eye": A Proporsal For The Standard Of Legality To Be Applied In Hospital Staff Privileges Cases, Sarah Bartholomew Ellerbee Jan 1994

"In The Twinkling Of An Eye": A Proporsal For The Standard Of Legality To Be Applied In Hospital Staff Privileges Cases, Sarah Bartholomew Ellerbee

LLM Theses and Essays

This paper addresses one of the most troublesome aspects of antitrust jurisprudence. What standard of legality governs cases dealing with medical staff privileges decisions? Heretofore, it was generally thought that only two options existed. The most frequently used standard of legality for this type of case is the rule of reason. In using this analysis, the court looks at the restraint of trade of the reasonableness of its nature, and its purpose and effect. The pro-competitive aspects of the conduct are weighed against the restraints that the conduct imposes on the competition. In health care cases, courts have looked at …

Aspirations And Reality In The Law And Politics Of Health Care Reform: Examining A Symposium On (E)Qual(Ity) Care For The Poor, Ann C. Mcginley Jan 1994

Aspirations And Reality In The Law And Politics Of Health Care Reform: Examining A Symposium On (E)Qual(Ity) Care For The Poor, Ann C. Mcginley

Scholarly Works

Although the poor had suffered from insufficient health care for years, it was only when the middle class felt the economic pinch that health care reform moved to the top of the national agenda. In this way, the poor, a group with little political power, could benefit from the enormous political power of the middle class. In the Fall of 1992, it appeared that it was time for the poor to consider building a coalition with the middle class to work for universal coverage and improved quality of care. Yet, many questions remained about whether a coalition would benefit the …

Tax Exemption To Health Maintenance Organizations: What's The Issue And Who Should Decide It, Arthur M. Reginelli

Journal of Law and Health

In light of the expected role HMOs will play in this country's health care reform, the continued debate over the Service's position regarding tax exemption for HMOs, the recent judicial confirmation of the Service's position regarding tax exemption for HMOs, the recent judicial confirmation of the Service's position, and proposals to codify the requirements a tax-exempt HMO must meet, a closer look at HMOs and the questions involving their tax exemption is warranted. Specifically, this note will examine the criteria that hospitals must meet to attain tax-exempt status and will consider the appropriateness of these criteria with respect to HMOs. …

The Empire Of Death: How Culture And Economics Affect Informed Consent In The U.S., The U.K., And Japan, George J. Annas, Frances H. Miller

Faculty Scholarship

Historically, most Americans have treated health care as a private commodity whose price, and therefore availability, is primarily determined by market forces. In such a context, the law not unsurprisingly places a high premium on information disclosure by physicians. Personal autonomy-an individual's power to choose among medical options-enjoys its most zealous protection under U.S. jurisprudence.7 The dominant U.S. version of informed consent is grounded on principles of patient/consumer autonomy, and seems to enhance market choice. But a strong theme of collectivism now runs through some discussions of U.S. health policy.8 President Clinton was elected at least in part …
