Democratizing Hmo Regulation To Enforce The "Rule Of Rescue", Kent G. Rutter

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Despite heightened public concern about HMOs, misguided regulatory measures have not guaranteed HMO patients access to the treatment options many consider vital.

Tax Exemption And The Health Care Industry: Are The Challenges To Tax-Exempt Status Justified?, Kevin B. Fischer Jan 1996

Tax Exemption And The Health Care Industry: Are The Challenges To Tax-Exempt Status Justified?, Kevin B. Fischer

Vanderbilt Law Review

The provision of health care has traditionally been deemed a charitable function.' Therefore, hospitals and other health care institutions have been afforded the benefits of tax exemption. As a standard for determining which entities merit the tax exemption and which do not, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS" or "Service") developed what has come to be known as the community benefit test. At the federal level, this test has been the basis for awarding tax- exempt status to hospitals and other health care entities State legislatures have traditionally followed the federal government's standards for tax exemption and have thus allowed health …

When The Surgeon Has Hiv: What To Tell Patients About The Risk Of Exposure And The Risk Of Transmission, Phillip L. Mcintosh

Journal Articles

This Article explores the legal aspects of the dilemma facing an HIV-infected surgeon with respect to whether the doctrine of informed consent requires, or can require, disclosure of the surgeon's HIV-infection under some circumstances. This Article then examines the nature of the risks associated with HIV as they affect patients during surgery. Next, this Article evaluates whether the risks are sufficiently material to require disclosure (or at least to present a jury question), and, in any event, whether state law can require such disclosure under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). In particular this Article examines the doctrine …


Drive-Through Deliveries: Indiscriminate Postpartum Early Discharge Practices Presently Necessitate Legislation Mandating Minimum Inpatient Hospital Stays, Tracy Wilson Smirnoff Jan 1996

Drive-Through Deliveries: Indiscriminate Postpartum Early Discharge Practices Presently Necessitate Legislation Mandating Minimum Inpatient Hospital Stays, Tracy Wilson Smirnoff

Cleveland State Law Review

"Drive-through deliveries," women delivering their babies and leaving the hospital only a few hours, rather than days, later are increasingly becoming the standard of care in the United States. This Note argues that legislation mandating minimum inpatient postpartum hospital stays is presently the best possible solution to the overreaching control MCOs have over doctors, the standard of care, and the length of hospital stays based on their willingness to cover treatment. Part H of this Note reviews the development of postpartum care during the twentieth century. This section also discusses the reasoning for the concerns regarding the early discharge of …
