Taking The Politics Out Of Vaccines: Increasing Vaccination Rates Without Repealing Exemptions, Kylie A. Thompson
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
Vaccinations have become a vital part of disease prevention and public health; however, they remain a controversial topic in our society today.

King V. Burwell: Where Were The Tax Professors?, Andy S. Grewal
King V. Burwell: Where Were The Tax Professors?, Andy S. Grewal
Pepperdine Law Review
King v. Burwell drew unusually wide attention for a tax case. Members of the public, the mainstream media, health care professionals, Washington think tanks, and constitutional, administrative, and health law professors, to name a few groups, all debated the merits of the challengers’ arguments. Everyone, it seems, had something to say about the case — except tax professors. This contribution to Pepperdine Law Review’s Tax Law Symposium explores three potential reasons for the tax professoriate’s reticence. It concludes that none of those reasons withstand scrutiny, and going forward, tax professors should play a more active role in cases like this.

Investing In Health Care: What Happens When Physicians Invest And Why The Recent Changes To The Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act Fail To Protect Patients From Their Physicians’ Self-Interest, Nancy L. Zisk
Seattle University Law Review

Political Factors And Enforcement Of The Nursing Home Regulatory Regime, Philip C. Aka, Lucinda M. Deason, Augustine Hammond
Journal of Law and Health
This study analyzes the influence of political factors, oversight, and nursing home affiliation or ownership status on the enforcement of the nursing home regulatory regime, signified by the Nursing Home Reform Act ("NHRA") and its progeny. Specifically speaking, it measures, using the statistical technique of regression analysis, factors that account for variations across states in the number of deficiencies (or violations of quality standards) cited by nursing home inspectors across the states. This work is a first of its kind, an analysis not government-related, by a set of public administration scholars that systematically studies the influence of political forces on …
The Power To End War: The Extent And Limits Of Congressional Power., Adam Heder
The Power To End War: The Extent And Limits Of Congressional Power., Adam Heder
St. Mary's Law Journal
Congress has several options in limiting the execution of war, however, Congress has no implied constitutional authority to terminate a war. Congress may limit the scope at the outset of the war, dissolve the army, or use its appropriation power. Congress may also impeach the President. Domestic statutes, the Court’s strong protection of essential liberties, and the democratic process further check the President’s power. Short of these, however, neither the Constitution nor subsequent case law gives Congress any definitive power to end or effectively limit the President’s ability to conduct a war. Congress gets its “bite at the apple” at …
