Contracting For Healthcare: Price Terms In Hospital Admission Agreements, George A. Nation Iii
Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)
This article discusses the application of contract law principles to the relationship between hospitals and patients to determine how much patients owe for the health care they receive. For patients who are covered by in-network health insurance the exact nature of the contract created with the hospital usually is not relevant to the patient’s financial obligation because the patient’s contract with the hospital is superseded by the contract between the patient’s health insurer and the hospital.

Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)

Belmont Law Review
This note argues that true judicial restraint is a fictional impossibility.

Every judicial opinion is influenced not only by the political and moral vantage point of the judge, but also the judge’s policy and societal concerns. This thesis is illustrated by a case study of National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, and, specifically, Chief Justice Roberts’s opinion regarding the individual mandate and the Medicaid provision of the Affordable Care Act. …

Medicaid Expansion By Any Other Name: Exploring The Feasibility Of Expanded Access To Care In The Wake Of Nfib V. Sebelius, Michele Johnson, Kristin Ware
Belmont Law Review
This Article will examine aspects of the Tennessee Plan for Medicaid coverage in order to make the argument that Tennessee must either accept the Medicaid expansion as codified in the Affordable Care Act, or make modifications to the Tennessee Plan that better comport with the federal waiver program, the central goals of Medicaid, the United States Constitution, and the spirit of cooperative federalism.
