Regulation Through The Looking Glass: Hospitals, Blue Cross, And Certificate-Of-Need, Sallyanne Payton, Rhoda M. Powsner
Michigan Law Review
A clear focus on the commitment of the public health and hospital establishments to the large teaching hospital and their belief in rationalizing the health care system through community-based planning allows us to understand the ideas and institutions that have produced our present system of hospital regulation. It can also help us to understand the structure and behavior of the hospital industry and can illuminate current controversies over health care policy.
What follows is a narrative account of the development of regional planning and certificate-of-need legislation. As part of that story, we trace the evolution of the Blue Cross, explain …

Plaintiff-mortgagee sued defendant insurance company to recover the amount allegedly due plaintiff under a fire insurance policy covering a mortgaged building. Plaintiff based its right to recovery on a New York standard mortgagee clause incorporated into a New York standard fire insurance policy.

Is The Business Of Insurance Commerce? A Re-Examination In The Light Of Modern Times, Nathan R. Berke
Michigan Law Review
A question of considerable import which has arisen time and again in recent years, particularly since the enactment of the various federal regulatory acts within the past decade, is whether the business of insurance is commerce. Although not a new question, and by no means unanswered by the courts, it has been a subject of recent reconsideration and in all probability will be reviewed by the United States Supreme Court.

Constitutional Law - Due Process Limitations On Statutes Regulating Extrastate Contracts, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs, reciprocal insurance associations which insure against fire and related risks, and whose attorneys-in-fact are located in Illinois, brought a declaratory judgment action in New York state courts for a determination of the applicability to them of the New York law requiring that such co-operative insurance associations obtain a license, or be prohibited from doing "any act which effects, aids or promotes the doing of an insurance business" in New York. As a condition of the license, submission to the New York regulations is required. The activities of the associations within the state of New York include investigation by engineers …

Insurance - Material Misrepresentations - Matter Of Fact Or Of Law-"Medical Consultation" Cases, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Statutes, in some two-thirds of the forty-eight states, have the approximate effect of changing all warranties in life insurance policies into representations. And in most of the remaining states the courts have interpreted statements of the applicant as representations rather than warranties wherever there has been room for doubt, to avoid the harshness of the rules governing a breach of warranty. The effect of all this is to eliminate immaterial misrepresentations of fact from the list of the insurer's possible defenses, and to increase the importance of determining when a misrepresentation is material, and by whom that inquiry is to …

Insurance-Misrepresentations-Insertion Of False Answers By Medical Examiner
Michigan Law Review
If an applicant for life insurance, in answering the many questions put to him by the company's medical representative, tells the truth, but the examiner, in recording the answers, distorts them without the knowledge of the insured, may the beneficiary or the personal representative of the insured show this distortion by parol, and collect on the policy in spite of the presence of false written answers in the application? The New York court of appeals, in the very recent case, Minsker v. John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co., 254 N. Y. 333, 173 N.E. 4, answers this question in …
