Site Visit To Southern California — Plans And Providers: Risk, Accountability, And Staying Power, Lisa Sprague
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. In southern California, large physician groups and independent practice associations were highly visible and influential. They had assumed significant financial risk and care management responsibility for patients in HMO plans. The result was a distinctly different model of managed care than existed in other regions of the country. The visit included meetings with leaders from physician organizations and managed care organizations in San Diego and Orange counties, as well as an …
Managed Care And Managed Sentencing — A Tale Of Two Systems, Ronald Weich
Managed Care And Managed Sentencing — A Tale Of Two Systems, Ronald Weich
All Faculty Scholarship
The daily injustices mount. The front line professionals who administer the system cry out for more discretion to depart from the rigid rules that bind them, Congress finally hears their call, and is poised to enact sweeping reforms.
Are improvements in federal sentencing law on the way? Probably not in the near future. But the new Congress will surely take up proposals to regulate the managed health care industry, and the impending debate over a proposed "Patients' Bill of Rights" law offers important lessons for federal sentencing policy.
At first blush, sentencing reform and health care reform have about as …

The State Children's Health Insurance Program: How Much Latitude Do The States Really Have?, Richard Hegner
National Health Policy Forum
The State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) — a major program to cover low-income, uninsured children — was passed as part of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Its passage was part of a trend of a shifting balance of power between the federal and state governments, particularly in the policy areas of health and social welfare. 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 …

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 …
