The Scramble To Promote Egg Donation Through A More Protective Regulatory Regime, Jacob Radecki
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Egg “donation” is a burgeoning industry in the United States. Fertility clinics capitalize on financially needy college students by advertising substantial financial benefits; particularly gifted women may receive thousands of dollars for selling their eggs. Rosy advertisements portray a well-paying procedure that also helps bring a child to a loving parent. Yet these descriptions mask significant potential harms. With respect to known problems, hormone regimens may cause ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome, which in the most severe cases can lead to infertility. In terms of unknown risks, anecdotal evidence suggests that the long-term side effects of egg extraction may include cancer. The …
Hospital Quality Improvement: Are Peer Review Immunity, Privilege, And Confidentiality In The Public Interest?,

Hospital Quality Improvement: Are Peer Review Immunity, Privilege, And Confidentiality In The Public Interest?, Michael D. Benson Md, Jordan B. Benson Cpa, Jd, Mark S. Stein Jd, Phd
Michael D Benson MD
Participants in the hospital peer-review process enjoy enormous protections under federal and state law. We contend that these protections – immunity, evidentiary privilege, and confidentiality – retard quality improvement in health care. As a result of these protections, the current peer-review system produces both improper severity and improper leniency. We propose to reform the system by eliminating all federal and state statutory protections for the peer-review process. A public process that is open to review and open to challenge by all interested parties will better promote health-care quality.

Scouting For Approval: Lessons On Medical Device Regulation In An Era Of Crowdfunding From Scanadu’S “Scout”, Colleen Smith
Student Award Winning Papers
This Article will argue that medical device companies should be able to utilize crowdfunding to raise the necessary capital to develop a product. However, because of the risks medical devices pose, any solution that allows medical device companies to employ crowdfunding should ensure the continuing commitment to consumer safety that is at the core of FDA regulation. This Article uses the Scanadu Scout as an example and a staring point for evaluating the use of crowdfunding in the medical device industry. This Article explains how and why Scanadu broke the law when it moved the Scout, an “adulterated or misbranded” …

An Empirical Perspective On Medicaid As Social Insurance, Nicole Huberfeld, Jessica L. Roberts
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This Essay begins to explore how Medicaid, after the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, metamorphoses from exclusion and limitations in access and benefits to a form of social insurance that implicates theories of social justice. The social justice aspect of universality provides an important lens for understanding these numbers, both in terms of the states that are expanding and the states that are opting out. States that refuse to expand their Medicaid programs are denying millions of Americans the benefit of a precious legal entitlement. It is essential that the states understand the power—and the potential—of this evolving social …

Rediscovering Capture: Antitrust Federalism And The North Carolina Dental Case, Herbert J. Hovenkamp
All Faculty Scholarship
This brief essay analyzes the Supreme Court's 2015 decision in the North Carolina Dental case, assessing its implications for federalism. The decision promises to re-open old divisions that had once made the antitrust "state action" doctrine a controversial lightning rod for debate about state economic sovereignty.
One provocative issue that neither the majority nor the dissenters considered is indicated by the fact that nearly all the cartel customers in the Dental case were located within the state. By contrast, the cartel in Parker v. Brown, which the dissent held up as the correct exemplar of the doctrine, benefited California growers …

Part I also provides a concise summary of some of the most important features of the ACA. Part II analyzes the potential impact of the ACA on CAM. Part II focuses first on those provisions of the ACA that are believed to be supportive of CAM; however, Part II then proposes potential counterarguments ignored or overlooked by those who believe that the ACA will favorably impact CAM.

Informed Decision Making On Abortion: Crisis Pregnancy Centers, Clinics, And The First Amendment, Aziza Ahmed
Faculty Scholarship
Shifting laws and regulations increasingly displace the centrality of women's health concerns in the provision of abortion services. This is exemplified by the growing presence of deceptive Crisis Pregnancy Centers alongside new informed consent laws designed to dissuade women from seeking abortions. Litigation on informed consent is further complicated in the clinical context due to the increased mobilization of facts - such as the gestational age or sonogram of the fetus - delivered with the intent to dissuade women from accessing abortion. In other words, factual information utilized for ideological purpose. To preserve a woman's autonomy and decision-making capacity, there …

Informed Consent And The First Amendment, Wendy K. Mariner, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
For more than two decades, states have been adding to the things that physicians must say and do to obtain “informed consent” — and thereby testing the constitutional limits of states' power to regulate medical practice. In 1992, the Supreme Court upheld states' authority to require physicians to provide truthful information that might encourage a woman to reconsider her decision to have an abortion, finding that such a requirement did not place an “undue burden” on the woman.

An Empirical Perspective On Medicaid As Social Insurance, Nicole Huberfeld
Faculty Scholarship
This paper is a contribution to the symposium entitled Scalpel to Gavel: Exploring the Modern State of Health Law. This essay quantifies and explores the central role Medicaid now plays in our health insurance system. For its first forty-nine years, Medicaid covered less than half of the nation’s poor. Today, one in five Americans have Medicaid coverage during the course of a year, and that number soon will increase to one in four given the insurance expansions enacted through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Medicaid now effectively functions as social insurance for many of its enrollees. In this …

The Space Between Two Worlds: Forward To The Health Law, Elizabeth Mccuskey
Faculty Scholarship
This year's Law Review Symposium explored the modem state of health law under the heading, From Scalpel to Gavel. By situating its discussion in the space between the health sciences and law, this symposium embodied the inherently interdisciplinary nature of health law. The gathering of scholars, physicians, counsel, enforcers, and community groups bridged the spaces among numerous disciplines, promoting the exchange of empiricism, ideas, and experiences that have come to define health law.
