The Supreme Court's recent decision in Gonzales v. Oregon, like its decision last year in Gonzales v. Raich (the "medical marijuana" case), again raises questions about the bioethical consequences of the Controlled Substances Act. When, in 1970, Congress passed that act, it placed problematic drugs in one of five "schedules," and it authorized the U.S. attorney general to add or subtract drugs from the schedules. Drugs in schedule II have both a medical use and a high potential for abuse. Doctors may prescribe such drugs if they "obtain from the Attorney General a registration issued in accordance with the …

The Electronic Health Record In Practice: Why, How, And What Next?, Lisa Sprague, Sally Coberly
National Health Policy Forum
This local site visit was intended to allow participants to observe the electronic health record (EHR) as used in practice by two U.S. leaders in technology and quality, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and Kaiser Permanente (KP). The VHA has employed an EHR system since 1997; KP is in the process of implementing a standard system for all clinicians nationwide. The site visit was designed to provide an opportunity for participants to explore both the expected benefits from EHR adoption and the specific lessons these two large, integrated delivery systems have learned in their transition from paper to electronic records. …

Till Death Do Us Part: Marriage, Hiv/Aids And The Law In Zimbabwe, Slyvia Chirawu
Till Death Do Us Part: Marriage, Hiv/Aids And The Law In Zimbabwe, Slyvia Chirawu
ExpressO
Lying in Sub Saharan Africa, the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Zimbabwe has grappled since 1985 to prevent and mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS. Statistics point out to one glaring factor- the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS on women and in the case of Zimbabwe married women. Laws, policies and practices in relation to marriage predispose married women to HIV/AIDS infection. The answer to protecting women does not lie entirely in the law but in transformative gender equality.
Zimbabwe has two types of recognized marriages and the third type , the unregistered customary law union is given limited recognition. The thread …

What, If Any, Are The Ethical Obligations Of The U.S. Patent Office? A Closer Look At The Biological Sampling Of Indigenous Groups, Marina L. Whelan
What, If Any, Are The Ethical Obligations Of The U.S. Patent Office? A Closer Look At The Biological Sampling Of Indigenous Groups, Marina L. Whelan
Duke Law & Technology Review
The patenting of biological resources collected from indigenous groups has become a controversial trend. Two U.S. patents in particular, one claiming a cell-line from a 26-year old Guayami woman and one claiming a leukemia virus from a Hagahai man in Papua New Guinea, demonstrate just how volatile this issue has become. This iBrief examines how, in light of such "ethically questionable" patents, the U.S. Patent Office has failed to implement any procedures to identify or curb patent applications involving indigenous peoples.
Zoning And Eminent Domain Under The New Minimum Scrutiny, John H. Ryskamp
Zoning And Eminent Domain Under The New Minimum Scrutiny, John H. Ryskamp
ExpressO
Recently the Supreme Court has made it clearer that minimum scrutiny is a factual analysis. Whether in any government action there is a rational relation to a legitimate interest is a matter of determining whether there is a policy maintaining important facts. This has come about in the Court’s emerging emphasis on developing fact-based criteria for determining government purpose. Thus, those who want to affect zoning and eminent domain outcomes should look to what the Court sees as important facts, and whether government action is maintaining those facts with its proposed land use or eminent domain action.
Stealing What's Free: Exploring Compensation To Body Parts Sources For Their Contribution To Profitable Biomedical Research, Jo-Anne Yau
ExpressO
It is undisputed in the biotechnology industry that human body parts play a vital role in research. The body parts donors, referred to as "Sources" in this article, are subjected to physical and financial exploitation. Forbidding the explosion of profits from trickling down to the Source presents an irrational inequity. Despite established law, it is evident from case analysis, prevailing social practices, and constitutional interpretation that Source compensation is a plausible solution.
This article proposes a model of compensation for Sources, whereby Sources are compensated based on a proportionate share of the research profits set aside for the Source as …
Something Must Be Done: An Argument For The Partial Deregulation Of Research On Bipolar Disorder And The Implementation Of Rolling Informed Consent, Janalee S. Kraschnewski
Something Must Be Done: An Argument For The Partial Deregulation Of Research On Bipolar Disorder And The Implementation Of Rolling Informed Consent, Janalee S. Kraschnewski
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Bipolar disorder (BD) cripples the lives of countless individuals across the globe. The healthcare community has had difficulty securing effective, long-term treatment for this disease. This Note argues that enlarging the pool of possible research subjects through partial deregulation of BD research would facilitate the development of better treatment. This Note further proposes the implementation of a system of rolling informed consent to ensure that actual and full consent is obtained from BD research subjects.

The Article distinguishes and explores three categories of information use: Helping patients understand and participate in their care; Improving patient safety, including analyzing medical errors and identifying unsafe health care providers and practices; and Assessing the performance of the medical liability system in its many dimensions including deterrence, compensation, justice, administrative efficiency, and stability.
For each category, the Article comments on existing laws or programs for information reporting or disclosure, points out major tensions or ambiguities, and suggests pragmatic improvements.
Plaintiffs' Lawyers, Specialization, And Medical Malpractice, Stephen Daniels, Joanne Martin
Plaintiffs' Lawyers, Specialization, And Medical Malpractice, Stephen Daniels, Joanne Martin
Vanderbilt Law Review
Our interest is in medical malpractice as an area of specialized practice for plaintiffs' lawyers, and we want to explore this area because plaintiffs' lawyers are key actors in the medical malpractice system. An understanding of their role is necessary in identifying what problems may exist in this system and in evaluating both proposed and enacted solutions. Indeed, some reforms appear to be specifically aimed at plaintiffs' lawyers who handle medical malpractice cases-especially the repeat players whose experience and expertise may give them, and hence their clients, a strategic advantage.
Like most of the political rhetoric surrounding medical malpractice, the …

High-Deductible Health Plans: New Twists On Old Challenges From Tort And Contract, E. Haavi Morreim Ph.D.
Vanderbilt Law Review
In just a few decades American health care financing has, in a sense, come full circle. After being largely patient-financed in the early twentieth century, generous insurance coverage in mid-century largely permitted providers to do as they wished and charge what they pleased-an Artesian Well of Money that left patients and physicians well-insulated from the costs of care. That system's inevitable explosion of costs spurred urgent efforts to contain health care expenditures, as payors sought to control or at least influence medical decisions. In many ways this "managed care" was clinically vexatious and economically disappointing. Its medically intrusive tactics have …

Should It Be Illict To Solicit? A Legal Analysis Of Policy Options To Regulate Solicitation Of Organs For Transplant, Alexandra K. Glazier, Scott Sasjack
ExpressO
Recently, there have been several well-publicized cases in which a patient in need of a transplant has solicited an organ through the use of commercial advertising and organized media campaigns. When deceased organs are directed to an individual as a result of solicitation rather than allocated through the national system, equity and medical utility are sacrificed. For this reason, regulation of deceased organ solicitation may be desirable. However, because solicitation of organs is likely to be considered constitutionally protected charitable speech, there are significant legal issues to consider. This article analyzes the legality of four possible policy options to resolve …

Standard Errors: How Budget Rules Distort Lawmaking, Timothy M. Westmoreland
Standard Errors: How Budget Rules Distort Lawmaking, Timothy M. Westmoreland
ExpressO
The article argues that the Congress’s budget process has invisibly influenced its legislative activities and structurally skewed its policy choices. The budgetary structure and tools as they affect lawmaking are largely unanalyzed. Until they are widely appreciated, they may often be random, inefficient, unrepresentative, and even deceptive. Review, critique, and change are overdue in any case. Inasmuch as the Congress is now, after a period of budget anarchy, debating how to refocus on the budget, this is a particularly good time for such activities.
The article also argues that additional structures are needed to “counter-balance” both the skewing that results …

Fallout From Chaoulli: Is It Time To Find Cover?, Joan M. Gilmour
Fallout From Chaoulli: Is It Time To Find Cover?, Joan M. Gilmour
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article examines the implications of the decision in Chaoulli v. Quebec (A.G.) for Canadian health policy. The author assesses whether governments are likely to strengthen medicare, given past performance and the exit option Chaoulli presents. The article analyzes the consequences of increasing private care and private insurance, concluding this will diminish the publicly funded system. It contrasts Chaoulli -with courts' dismissals of claims for Charter protection of minimal social and economic security, despite the profound effects of the latter on health status. It concludes by noting Chaoulli is one more example of the increasing prevalence of discourse normalizing privatization …

Payments To Medicaid Doctors: Interpreting The “Equal Access” Provision, Abigail R. Moncrieff
Payments To Medicaid Doctors: Interpreting The “Equal Access” Provision, Abigail R. Moncrieff
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
This Comment analyzes the circuit split that has arisen as courts have confronted challenges to Medicaid payments. Part I provides background on the Medicaid program and the circuit split, and it identifies and explicates two competing rules for measuring adequacy of Medicaid payments: the Fifth and Seventh circuits' "access metric" and the Ninth Circuit's "cost metric." Parts II and III identify problems with these two rules, and criticizes them as inconsistent with the statute's text, purpose, and intent. Part IV proposes a new rule, an "MCO metric," and explains why that rule is the best interpretation of Medicaid's reimbursement provision.
"The Last Line Of Defence For Citizens": Litigating Private Health Insurance In Chaoulli V. Quebec, Christopher P. Manfredi, Antonia Maioni
"The Last Line Of Defence For Citizens": Litigating Private Health Insurance In Chaoulli V. Quebec, Christopher P. Manfredi, Antonia Maioni
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Litigating health care policy under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has become an increasingly common phenomenon. The judicialization of health policy in this form raises important questions about the general phenomenon of legal mobilization. This article examines these questions in the context of Chaoulli v. Quebec (2005), in which the Supreme Court invalidated Quebec's prohibition against private insurance for medical services provided through the public health care system. Among the questions this article explores are: How do such cases get into the judicial system? Under what conditions are such claims likely to be successful? What is the impact …
Chaoulli's Legacy For The Future Of Canadian Health Care Policy, Colleen M. Flood
Chaoulli's Legacy For The Future Of Canadian Health Care Policy, Colleen M. Flood
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
In Chaoulli, the majority of the Supreme Court of Canada struck down a Quebec law that prohibited the purchase of private health insurance for essential hospital and physician services. The majority found it to be in breach of the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. The Court was split 3-3 on whether it was also in breach of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The decision was initially considered of limited importance by many given that technically it applied only to Quebec. In the six months since the decision was released, however, it has become clear that the …
