The Fcc And Aids Education: Helping Broadcasters Serve The Public Interest, Jason B. Acton

Federal Communications Law Journal

Despite recent advances in medical technology, AIDS remains a very serious international health threat. Even with the presence of new drug therapies that have helped to prolong the lives of those who suffer from the disease, scientists have been unable to develop a cure. Consequently education remains the primary weapon available in the war against AIDS. Unfortunately, AIDS education initiatives have found little support in the broadcast community. To renew their licenses, broadcasters are required to act in the public interest— requirement that has traditionally required very little. However, given the threat AIDS presents to society, the FCC should require …

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 …

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 …

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.

Networked Health Information: Assuring Quality Control On The Internet, Kristin B. Keltner

Federal Communications Law Journal

The Clinton Administration's Health Information and Applications Working Group promotes networked health information provided to all citizens through the Internet as one way to lower health care costs while improving the health of Americans.

No standards exist to ensure that the information these Web sites carry is accurate and otherwise free from corruption. Disclaimers as to the reliability of the information as well as to the responsibility of the information provider for any harm caused by …

Teen Prostitution In Japan: Regulation Of Telephone Clubs, Andrew D. Morrison

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The history of prostitution in Japan may be traced to the eighth century. Originally, prostitutes carried on their trade individually and independently. Around the thirteenth century, however, the nature of prostitution changed, as prostitutes formed small enterprises located in red-light districts. By the seventeenth century, red-light districts existed throughout Japan.

In 1900, the Japanese government, realizing the widespread proliferation of the prostitution industry, passed the Regulation for Control of Prostitutes. The law regulated prostitution nationwide by requiring prostitutes to register with local government authorities and to undergo regular health inspections. This system continued until the end of World War Two, …

A Call To Congress To Amend Erisa Preemption Of Hmo Medical Malpractice Claims: The Dissatisfactory Distinction Between Quality And Quantity Of Care, Angela M. Easley

Campbell Law Review

This Comment begins with an overview of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the preemption clause found therein. Section III explains the distinction between quality and quantity of care, the test many courts have relied on to determine whether ERISA preempts a medical malpractice claim. Section IV examines state common law theories of liability which are asserted against managed care organizations, specifically claims of direct and vicarious liability. Section V addresses the HMO's role in medical decision making, and Section VI describes recent legislation regarding ERISA and HMO liability. This Comment contends that the more active role an …
