What Money Cannot Buy: A Legislative Response To C.Rac.K., Adam B. Wolf
What Money Cannot Buy: A Legislative Response To C.Rac.K., Adam B. Wolf
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Children Requiring a Caring Kommunity (C.R.A.C.K.) is an organization that pays current or former drug addicts $200 to be sterilized. While generating great public controversy, C.R.A.C.K. is expanding rapidly throughout the country. Its clients are disproportionately poor women of color, who are coerced by the offer of money into permanently relinquishing their reproductive rights. This Note argues that C.R.A.C.K. is a program of eugenical sterilization that cannot be tolerated. Moreover, C.R.A.C.K. further violates settled national public policy by offensively commodifying the ill-commodifiable, by demeaning women, and by starting down a slippery slope with devastating consequences. This Note proposes legislation that …
Increasing Consumer Power In The Grievance And Appeal Process For Medicare Hmo Enrollees, Kenneth J. Pippin
Increasing Consumer Power In The Grievance And Appeal Process For Medicare Hmo Enrollees, Kenneth J. Pippin
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Federal law requires that Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) provide Medicare beneficiaries with specific grievance and appeal rights for challenging adverse decisions of these organizations. The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) is charged with enforcing these regulations. Currently, however, HCFA contracts with HMOs, allowing them to enroll Medicare beneficiaries despite the fact that many of the statutory and regulatory requirements are ignored by the Medicare HMOs. This is problematic because the elderly Medicare population may not be able to independently and adequately challenge the HMO's denial of care or reimbursement. Because HCFA has been reluctant and …
Is The Clean Air Act Unconstitutional?, Cass R. Sunstein
Is The Clean Air Act Unconstitutional?, Cass R. Sunstein
Michigan Law Review
This Article deals with two linked questions. The first involves the future of the Clean Air Act. The particular concern is how the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") might be encouraged, with help from reviewing courts, to issue better ambient air quality standards, and in the process to shift from some of the anachronisms of 1970s environmentalism to a more fruitful approach to environmental protection. The second question involves the role of the nondelegation doctrine in American public law, a doctrine that shows unmistakable signs of revival. I will suggest that improved performance by EPA and agencies in general, operating in …

Legalization Of The Birth Control Pill In Japan Will Reduce Reliance On Abortion As The Primary Method Of Birth Control, Evy F. Mcelmeel
Legalization Of The Birth Control Pill In Japan Will Reduce Reliance On Abortion As The Primary Method Of Birth Control, Evy F. Mcelmeel
Washington International Law Journal
The United Nations has decreed that access to a variety of methods of birth control is a basic human right, that prevention of pregnancy, not termination, is the goal of birth control, and that abortion is an unacceptable method of birth control. Until recently, condoms and the rhythm method were the only legal forms of contraception in Japan. The high failure rates of these methods, coupled with access to abortion on demand, made abortion the de facto primary method of birth control in Japan. The Japanese government's recent decision to end the ban on oral contraceptives will reduce the number …

Managed Care- The First Chapter Comes To A Close, Sallyanne Payton
Managed Care- The First Chapter Comes To A Close, Sallyanne Payton
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Introduction to the symposium, Managed Care: What's the Prognosis: Managing Care in the Next Century.
Accountable Managed Care: Should We Be Careful What We Wish For?, David A. Hyman
Accountable Managed Care: Should We Be Careful What We Wish For?, David A. Hyman
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Managed care is exceedingly unpopular of late. Many people believe that the problem is managed care organizations (MCOs) are unaccountable. Indeed, for many people, the creation of tort-based accountability for MCOs is the touchstone for assessing legislative "reform." The case for tort-based accountability is actually quite complex, and the merits of tort-based accountability cannot be resolved with sound bites and bad anecdotes. Tort-based accountability has both costs and benefits, and little attention has been paid to the extent to which alternatives to tort-based accountability are found in existing institutional arrangements.
This Article systematically considers the extent to which alternatives to …
How Not To Think About "Managed Care", Jacob S. Hacker, Theodore R. Marmor
How Not To Think About "Managed Care", Jacob S. Hacker, Theodore R. Marmor
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The claim of this Article is that the concept of "managed care," like many concepts now prominent in commentary about medical care finance and delivery in the United States, is incoherent and thus a barrier to useful analysis. To demonstrate this conclusion, we first discuss the managerial context in which managed care claims have arisen and outline the diverse trends to which the category is regularly and confusingly applied. We then suggest an alternative approach to characterizing recent changes in medical care and show how this approach alters and deepens our understanding of recent economic and political developments. We conclude …
Establishing New Legal Doctrine In Managed Care: A Model Of Judicial Response To Industrial Change, Peter D. Jacobson, Scott D. Pomfret
Establishing New Legal Doctrine In Managed Care: A Model Of Judicial Response To Industrial Change, Peter D. Jacobson, Scott D. Pomfret
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Courts are struggling with how to develop legal doctrine in challenges to the new managed care environment. In this Article, we examine how courts have responded in the past to new industries or radical transformations of existing industries. We analyze two historical antecedents, the emergence of railroads in the nineteenth century and mass production in the twentieth century, to explore how courts might react to the current transformation of the health care industry.
In doing so, we offer a model of how courts confront issues of developing legal doctrine, especially regarding liability, associated with nascent or dramatically transformed industries. Our …
Clearing The Way For An Effective Federal-State Partnership In Health Reform, Eleanor D. Kinney
Clearing The Way For An Effective Federal-State Partnership In Health Reform, Eleanor D. Kinney
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
At century's end, states have assumed a very different role in the design, implementation, and operation of health service programs than they did twenty-five years ago. In the current volatile political atmosphere particularly at the federal level, states have taken up the mantle of healthcare reform in the final years of the 1990s. Yet there remain problems and difficulties with the current federal-state relationship in health reform. The critical question is whether states can successfully accomplish genuine reform given its politically charged, complex and costly nature. This question takes on particular significance for the most important reform-expanding coverage to the …
Managed Care Regulation: Can We Learn From Others? The Chilean Experience, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost
Managed Care Regulation: Can We Learn From Others? The Chilean Experience, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Because the United States relies on private insurance for financing health care to a much greater degree than do other nations, and because managed care as a form of private insurance is further developed in the United States than elsewhere, it is arguable that we have little to learn from other nations about managed care regulation. This Article tests this hypothesis with respect to Chile, a country where private insurance is widespread and managed care is emerging. It concludes that by studying the experience of other nations we might gain a larger perspective on the context of our concerns in …
Questioning Traditional Antitrust Presumptions: Price And Non-Price Competition In Hospital Markets, Peter J. Hammer
Questioning Traditional Antitrust Presumptions: Price And Non-Price Competition In Hospital Markets, Peter J. Hammer
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Hospital mergers challenge basic assumptions about the effects of market power in the health care industry. Antitrust courts have struggled with claims that hospital mergers may in fact reduce costs and lower prices. This Article assesses the validity of these economic claims in the context of an industry that has undergone radical transformations in recent years. The Article also explores how such arguments should be treated as a matter of antitrust doctrine in an area of the law that relies heavily on market share presumptions and rule-based decision making. The Article contends that courts should employ a total welfare standard …

The Competitive Impact Of Small Group Health Insurance Reform Laws, Mark A. Hall
The Competitive Impact Of Small Group Health Insurance Reform Laws, Mark A. Hall
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article reports on findings from an extensive study of small group health insurance market reforms in seven states, enacted during the early 1990s. After summarizing the content and purpose of these reforms, this evaluation focuses on the impact these reforms have had on the nature and degree of market competition. The principal findings are: (1) small group health insurance markets are highly competitive, both in price and in product innovation and diversity; (2) although some insurers have left some or all of these states in part because of these reforms, an ample number of active competitors remain, even in …
Exit And Voice In American Health Care, Marc A. Rodwin
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 …
Playing Doctor: Corporate Medical Practice And Medical Malpractice, E. Haavi Morreim
Playing Doctor: Corporate Medical Practice And Medical Malpractice, E. Haavi Morreim
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Although health plans once existed mainly to ensure that patients could pay for care, in recent years managed care organizations (MCOs) have attempted to limit expenditures by exercising significant influence over the kinds and levels of care provided. Some commentators argue that such influence constitutes the practice of medicine, and should subject MCOs to the same medical malpractice torts traditionally brought against physicians. Others hold that MCOs engage only in contract interpretation, and do not literally practice medicine.
This Article begins by arguing that traditional common law doctrines governing corporate practice of medicine do not precisely apply to the current …
