Site Visit To Southern California — Plans And Providers: Risk, Accountability, And Staying Power, Lisa Sprague
National Health Policy Forum
This site visit was the second of two focused on managed care operations and market dynamics in California, a state notable for high HMO market penetration and intense competition.

This issue brief explores the degree of freedom afforded the states by CHIP, the factors guiding state decision making and planning, and the factors influencing the states' various decisions about CHIP. It also discusses state options in four basic areas: participation or nonparticipation …

Managed Care, Assisted Suicide, And Vulnerable Populations, M. Cathleen Kaveny
Managed Care, Assisted Suicide, And Vulnerable Populations, M. Cathleen Kaveny
Journal Articles
While advocates of physician assisted suicide consider it a core aspect of individual autonomy legalizing the practice is extremely dangerous and puts the most vulnerable members of our society at risk. Legalized physician assisted suicide takes away the autonomy of the decision to die and makes it an option in a flawed healthcare system, where patients are often denied coverage for medical expenses by employer-sponsored benefit plans and medical insurers are concerned primarily with cutting costs spent on each patient. Complexities in the way that physicians are compensated under the current system of managed care is also eroding their responsibility …

How Many Libertarians Does It Take To Fix The Health Care System?, Thomas L. Greaney
How Many Libertarians Does It Take To Fix The Health Care System?, Thomas L. Greaney
Michigan Law Review
There's an old joke about a Southern preacher who is asked whether he believes in the sacrament of infant baptism. "Believe in it?" thunders the preacher. "Hell, son, I've seen it done." In Mortal Peril: Our Inalienable Right to Health Care?, Richard Epstein gives testimony that markets should be left unfettered to distribute health care services. Arguing from first principles, he aims to persuade that the messy, confusing business of health care is best dealt with by simple legal rules: permit free contracting, countenance no government-induced subsidies, recognize no positive rights. One leaves this particular revival tent feeling he …

Chicago Hope Meets The Chicago School, Gail B. Agrawal
Michigan Law Review
Twenty-five years after the enactment of the Federal Health Maintenance Organization Act and nearly five years after the failure of proposed federal health care reform, managed care has come to dominate the medical marketplace. As a result, the relationships among patients, payers, and physicians have changed fundamentally and dramatically. In this market-driven environment, health care - how much it costs, who receives treatment, and who pays for it - may have surpassed the weather as a topic of everyday conversation at dinner tables and water coolers across the country. In the popular press, reports concerning managed care, usually derogatory, are …

Sex Discrimination And Insurance For Contraception, Sylvia A. Law
Sex Discrimination And Insurance For Contraception, Sylvia A. Law
Washington Law Review
Unintended pregnancy is a serious problem in the United States. Most private insurance plans do not pay for contraception even though they pay for other prescription drugs and devices. This Article argues that this pattern constitutes sex discrimination and is prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. It discusses the reasons this issue has been neglected and suggests ways federal and state officials might remedy this common form of gender discrimination.
