Perceiving Others As Different: A Discussion On The Stigmatization Of The Mentally Ill, Marchell Goins, Kyneitres Good, Cori Harley
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
This commentary on the stigmatization of people with mental illness explores social perceptions of them as dangerous and uncivilized. The authors discuss how the legal system suggests that these are people who should be ousted from the community while mental health professionals attempt to reiterate the fact that these individuals are simply human. The authors describe ways people with mental illness have been subjected to discrimination, ridicule, and humiliation. This commentary discusses multiple perspectives of mental illness, from past to present, and how those perspectives influenced social, legal, and psychological frameworks.

Access To Medicine In An Era Of Fractal Inequality, Frank Pasquale
Access To Medicine In An Era Of Fractal Inequality, Frank Pasquale
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
This article evaluates the legitimacy and degree of inevitability of unequal access to medicine. The author introduces 'fractal inequality' to the access issue by using the term to describe skewed patterns in distributions of income and wealth that lead to reallocative effects of higher spending on health care by the wealthiest that can cascade down the distributive ladder. 'Fractal inequality' is transposed to the U.S. health care sector to explain the trend away from medical need toward ability to pay. The author cautions U.S. policymakers to consider international access problems instead of exacerbating those issues when domestic access to care …
Pharmaceutical Pricing: A Review Of Proposals To Improve Access And Affordability Of Prescription Drugs, Paula Tironi
Pharmaceutical Pricing: A Review Of Proposals To Improve Access And Affordability Of Prescription Drugs, Paula Tironi
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
This article discusses how pharmaceutical innovation achieves remarkable improvements in human health but a significant portion of the U.S. population cannot afford prescription drugs. The author examines ways that patent protection, generics, supply chain complexity, and the cost of innovation and promotion affect access and affordability. The author then looks at the influences of marketing strategies and industry trends such as the patent cliff and pipeline for new drugs, innovations in biotechnology and genomics, comparative effectiveness analysis, and payor and employer strategies on drug prices. An analysis of reform proposals in the context of industry trends suggests that promoting generic …
Post-Mortem Pregnancy: A Proposed Methodology For The Resolution Of Conflicts Over Whether A Brain Dead Pregnant Woman Should Be Maintained On Life-Sustaining Treatment, Alexis Gregorian
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
In this article, the author examines conflicts over whether to maintain a brain dead pregnant woman on life-sustaining treatment. The author cautions that on the rare occasions when courts are confronted with such a conflict, they should employ a consistent methodology for resolution of the conflict and attempt to honor the wishes of the post-mortem mother and her family. The author draws on relevant areas of law to demonstrate the existence of a legal fiction that protects the interests of post-mortem pregnant women in refusing medical treatment. This article then proceeds to propose a methodology that enables courts to account …
Charter Rights & Health Care Funding: A Typology Of Canadian Health Rights Litigation, Colleen M. Flood, Y.Y. Brandon Chen
Charter Rights & Health Care Funding: A Typology Of Canadian Health Rights Litigation, Colleen M. Flood, Y.Y. Brandon Chen
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
Canadian health consumers have increasingly relied on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to demand certain therapies and reasonably timely access to care. Organizing these cases into a 5-part typology, we examine how a rights-based discourse affects allocation of health care resources. First, successful Charter challenges can, in theory, lead to courts granting and enforcing positive rights to therapies or to timely care. Second, courts may grant a right to certain health services; however, subsequently government fails to deliver on this right. Third, successful litigation may create negative rights, i.e. rights to access care or private health insurance without government …

A Call For Minds: The Unknown Extent Of Societal Influence On The Legal Rights Of Involuntarily And Voluntarily Committed Mental Health Patients, Teresa Cannistraro
A Call For Minds: The Unknown Extent Of Societal Influence On The Legal Rights Of Involuntarily And Voluntarily Committed Mental Health Patients, Teresa Cannistraro
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
This article begins and ends with a call for more empirical research to understand the connection between societal views of mental illness and the legal system. The author asserts that changing social perceptions of mental illness certainly affect legal outcomes and commitment levels, but the degree remains unknown. This article explores the above two topics through the framework of the Circuit Court 'split' regarding the Constitutional rights of persons committed to state mental health institutions. A main facet of the 'split' is centered on the Circuits' disagreement about whether or not all mentally ill patients committed to institutions deserve the …
An Economic Assessment Of Patent Settlements In The Pharmaceutical Industry, Bret Dickey, Jonathan Orszag, Laura Tyson
An Economic Assessment Of Patent Settlements In The Pharmaceutical Industry, Bret Dickey, Jonathan Orszag, Laura Tyson
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
This article demonstrates that in recent years, patent settlements between branded and generic manufacturers involving "reverse payments" from branded manufacturers to generic manufacturers have received close antitrust scrutiny, driven by concerns that such settlements harm consumers by delaying the entry of lower-priced generic drugs. The authors note that such settlements will be a focus of the Obama Administration's antitrust enforcement policy, yet there is a growing consensus among the courts that such settlements are anticompetitive only under narrow sets of circumstances. In this article, the authors present an analytical framework for evaluating the competitive effects of patent settlements, including those …
