Why Don't Doctors & Lawyers (Strangers In The Night) Get Their Act Together?, Frances H. Miller
Why Don't Doctors & Lawyers (Strangers In The Night) Get Their Act Together?, Frances H. Miller
Michigan Law Review
Health care in America is an expensive, complicated, inefficient, tangled mess - everybody says so. Patients decry its complexity, health care executives bemoan its lack of coherence, physicians plead for universal coverage to simplify their lives so they can just get on with taking care of patients, and everyone complains about health care costs. The best health care in the world is theoretically available here, but we deliver and pay for it in some of the world's worst ways.

Be Not Afraid Of Change: Time To Eliminate The Corporate Practice Of Medicine Doctrine, Nicole Huberfeld

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This article focuses on three key reasons that the corporate practice of medicine doctrine should be laid to rest. First, the motives for creating the corporate practice of medicine doctrine are long gone; it has been some time since physicians have been able to operate as a guild of autonomous providers of health care. The delivery and financing of health care places physicians in an integrated system that is only frustrated by the corporate practice of medicine doctrine.

Public Tort Litigation: Public Benefit Or Public Nuisance?, Richard C. Ausness
Public Tort Litigation: Public Benefit Or Public Nuisance?, Richard C. Ausness
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Eventually, the tobacco companies agreed to pay the states more than $200 billion and also …
