Market And Non-Market Mechanisms For Procuring Human And Cadaveric Organs: When The Price Is Right, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

In the United States, as well as throughout the world, current demands for organ transplants far exceed the actual supply. Nonconsensual human donations, taken from minors, incompetents and prisoners are regulated carefully by the courts. The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act and the National Organ Transplant Act serve also as statutory frameworks for organ retrievals and allocations and place various restrictions upon each. Altruistically motivated donations at death continue to be an inadequate mechanism for meeting the growing demands of the market. Included among the various approaches to resolving the critical shortage of human organs for transplantation are post mortem harvesting, …

Faculty Scholarship

Health care reform is in the wind. As the nation prepares for a new presidential term, a more equitable and cost-effective health care system is beginning to sound inevitable.1 But the shape of that system remains a matter of debate. Employer-provided health insurance is the cornerstone of several national proposals for reform.2 3 4 5 6 The Bush administration's preference for tax credits rested on the assumption that most employers would continue to provide health insurance to their employees. President-elect Bill Clinton's proposal relies on insurance reform to enable small businesses to buy affordable private health insurance. Lawmakers …

The Supreme Court, Abortion, And The Jurisprudence Of Class, Wendy K. Mariner

Faculty Scholarship

The US Supreme Court's decision in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v Casey both protects a woman's liberty to choose to terminate her pregnancy and permits the state to make it more difficult for her to exercise her choice. In their opinion on the case, Justices O'Connor, Kennedy, and Souter eloquently defend constitutional protection of the right to make intimate decisions like continuing or ending a pregnancy. At the same time, they permit the state to try to persuade pregnant women not to have abortions and to make abortion harder to obtain and more costly, as long as the state's …

Staffing National Health Care Reform: A Role For Advanced Practice Nurses, Linda H. Aiken, William M. Sage

Faculty Scholarship

Expanding access and coverage while containing costs can only be accomplished by getting more health care value for our money. Two facts about our current system make this seem possible. First, the currently uninsured are not costless. Providing stop-gap health care to those who lack health insurance is extremely expensive -- people without formal coverage cannot afford preventive services, delay treatment of illness and face substantial barriers to reaching appropriate providers. When they receive care, it is often degrading, usually complicated and costly, and more than occasionally too late. The cost of this "uncompensated" care is borne by all of …
