Medicaid, State Cost-Containment Measures, And Section 1983 Provider Actions Under "Wilder V. Virginia Hospital Association", Michael D. Daneker Mar 1992

Medicaid, State Cost-Containment Measures, And Section 1983 Provider Actions Under "Wilder V. Virginia Hospital Association", Michael D. Daneker

Vanderbilt Law Review

After the Civil War, Congress enacted a statutory private right of action to ensure the protection of an individual's federal civil rights." This right of action, now codified at Title 42, Section 1983 of the United States Code, creates liability for anyone who, acting under a state law, program, or policy, infringes on an individual's federal rights. Although the authors of Section 1983 intended the statute to serve primarily as a mechanism for the protection of federal constitutional rights, the United States Supreme Court has recognized that Section 1983 is a valid tool for enforcing a wide variety of statutorily …

Mum's The Word: The Supreme Court And Family Planning, Wendy K. Mariner Feb 1992

Mum's The Word: The Supreme Court And Family Planning, Wendy K. Mariner

Faculty Scholarship

On May 23, 1991, the US Supreme Court upheld federal regulations that prohibit federally funded family planning programs from counseling about or referring for abortion. As a result, government benefits may now entail substantial costs. The regulations changed the nature of government-assisted family planning from comprehensive care and counseling to limited services and government-prescribed information. The reasoning in Rust v Sullivan allows government to limit freedom of speech in federally funded programs. The decision may have been influenced by antiabortion sentiment, but it does not affect the legality of abortion. Instead, it sets a precedent for government control of whether …

Rethinking The Health Care Delivery Crisis: The Need For A Therapeutic Jurisprudence, Bruce J. Winick Jan 1992

Rethinking The Health Care Delivery Crisis: The Need For A Therapeutic Jurisprudence, Bruce J. Winick

Journal of Law and Health

In designing a sensible system of national health insurance we need to avoid a repetition of the built-in inflationary pressures that followed the adoption of Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid and Medicare eligibility encouraged many to increase their use of health care services, in part because they no longer needed to bear the costs (or full costs) or services. This increased demand, exceeding the supply of health care services, predictably produced price hikes. Other factors undoubtedly have contributed to the escalation of health care costs, including the tendency of some doctors to order unnecessary diagnostic tests, over-reliance on high technology, and …


Legal And Policy Aspects Of Home Care Coverage, S. Mitchell Weitzman Jan 1992

Legal And Policy Aspects Of Home Care Coverage, S. Mitchell Weitzman

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Home health care is a compassionate, cost-effective, and practical alternative for some individuals who require long-term or constant care. However, the coverage of home health care costs is far from comprehensive under the Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay systems. A uniform and comprehensive coverage system is necessary.

Patching The Patchwork Quilt: "Reforming" The Medicaid Program - The Medicaid Program - The Medicaid Voluntary Contribution And Provider-Specific Tax Amendments Of 1991, Michael O. Spivey Jan 1992

Patching The Patchwork Quilt: "Reforming" The Medicaid Program - The Medicaid Program - The Medicaid Voluntary Contribution And Provider-Specific Tax Amendments Of 1991, Michael O. Spivey

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Congress modified the Medicaid program by restricting states' sources of funding, capping payments to certain hospitals, and altering the relationship between the states and the federal government. While the legislation puts to rest an ongoing dispute between the state and federal governments, it does not improve access to or quality of care nor address fundamental problems with the Medicaid program; it is simply another patch to the patch-work quilt called Medicaid.

Internal Revenue Service General Counsel's Memorandum Threatens Tax Exemption For Charitable Hospitals, David W. Ball

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

In addition, the memorandum makes clear that a violation of the Anti-Kickback statute, discussed in Mr. Aaron's article, is inconsistent with tax exempt status.

Liability Of Blood Banks For The Transmission Of Hiv-Aids, Martin B. Kofsky

St. Thomas Law Review

This article focuses on cases of HIV transmission arising from blood transfusions. This article specifically details and describes the effect of blood shield statutes upon HIV-AIDS litigation and the appropriate standard of care to which a blood bank or similar entity should be held. Finally, the impact of the standard of care in conjunction with blood shield statutes on negligence actions arising from the transmission of the virus through blood transfusions will be examined. Although only two to three percent of all HIV-AIDS transmission cases are attributable to transfusion, the bulk of the litigation with respect to HIV-AIDS transmission is …
