Increasing Consumer Power In The Grievance And Appeal Process For Medicare Hmo Enrollees, Kenneth J. Pippin
Increasing Consumer Power In The Grievance And Appeal Process For Medicare Hmo Enrollees, Kenneth J. Pippin
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Federal law requires that Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) provide Medicare beneficiaries with specific grievance and appeal rights for challenging adverse decisions of these organizations. The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) is charged with enforcing these regulations. Currently, however, HCFA contracts with HMOs, allowing them to enroll Medicare beneficiaries despite the fact that many of the statutory and regulatory requirements are ignored by the Medicare HMOs. This is problematic because the elderly Medicare population may not be able to independently and adequately challenge the HMO's denial of care or reimbursement. Because HCFA has been reluctant and …
Monitoring Governmental Disposition Of Assets: Fashioning Regulatory Substitutes For Market Controls, Harold J. Krent, Nicholas S. Zeppos
Monitoring Governmental Disposition Of Assets: Fashioning Regulatory Substitutes For Market Controls, Harold J. Krent, Nicholas S. Zeppos
Vanderbilt Law Review
Each year, the government sells and leases public assets worth billions of dollars. FCC auctions to allocate rights to electromagnetic spectrum generated over twenty billion dollars within a three-year period, and proceeds from mineral leases, timber sales, and disposition of real estate from defaulting thrifts have surpassed several billion dollars annually.
From the taxpayer's perspective, however, government sales and leases have been deplorable. The government has donated valuable resources to preferred claimants, allocated scarce broadcast and oil rights resources by lottery, and sold both public land and mineral rights to private parties at a fraction of the market price. Although …
The Challenge Of Administration By Regulation: Preliminary Findings Regarding The U.S. Government's Venture Capital Funds, Jonathan G.S. Koppell
The Challenge Of Administration By Regulation: Preliminary Findings Regarding The U.S. Government's Venture Capital Funds, Jonathan G.S. Koppell
Publications from President Jonathan G.S. Koppell
This article assesses the ability of elected officials to control public policy as implemented by public/private hybrid organizations, specifically, government venture capital funds. The study reveals greater control over OPIC investment funds than Enterprise Funds despite the existence of more traditional administrative tools of control for Enterprise Funds. This finding suggests that the regulatory infrastructure for hybrid organizations is more determinative of control than the existence (or lack) of traditional administrative control tools. Thus the challenge of hybrid government centers on the development of regulation as a substitute for administration.
An Introduction To The Paris Forum On Transnational Practice For The Legal Profession, Laurel Terry
An Introduction To The Paris Forum On Transnational Practice For The Legal Profession, Laurel Terry
Faculty Scholarly Works
This article focuses on the 1998 Paris Forum on Transnational Practice for the Legal Profession and introduces the papers contained in the Paris Forum Symposium. The Paris Forum was the first meeting of lawyers from around the world devoted solely to the topic of transnational legal practice. Before the Paris Forum, some bar organizations had set aside time during their meetings to discuss the transnational practice of law and issues related to transnational legal services also had been included as topics in general conferences. The multi-day Paris Forum, however, was the first multi-day conference devoted to this topic. This paper …
Accountable Managed Care: Should We Be Careful What We Wish For?, David A. Hyman
Accountable Managed Care: Should We Be Careful What We Wish For?, David A. Hyman
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Managed care is exceedingly unpopular of late. Many people believe that the problem is managed care organizations (MCOs) are unaccountable. Indeed, for many people, the creation of tort-based accountability for MCOs is the touchstone for assessing legislative "reform." The case for tort-based accountability is actually quite complex, and the merits of tort-based accountability cannot be resolved with sound bites and bad anecdotes. Tort-based accountability has both costs and benefits, and little attention has been paid to the extent to which alternatives to tort-based accountability are found in existing institutional arrangements.
This Article systematically considers the extent to which alternatives to …
Clearing The Way For An Effective Federal-State Partnership In Health Reform, Eleanor D. Kinney
Clearing The Way For An Effective Federal-State Partnership In Health Reform, Eleanor D. Kinney
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
At century's end, states have assumed a very different role in the design, implementation, and operation of health service programs than they did twenty-five years ago. In the current volatile political atmosphere particularly at the federal level, states have taken up the mantle of healthcare reform in the final years of the 1990s. Yet there remain problems and difficulties with the current federal-state relationship in health reform. The critical question is whether states can successfully accomplish genuine reform given its politically charged, complex and costly nature. This question takes on particular significance for the most important reform-expanding coverage to the …
Managed Care Regulation: Can We Learn From Others? The Chilean Experience, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost
Managed Care Regulation: Can We Learn From Others? The Chilean Experience, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Because the United States relies on private insurance for financing health care to a much greater degree than do other nations, and because managed care as a form of private insurance is further developed in the United States than elsewhere, it is arguable that we have little to learn from other nations about managed care regulation. This Article tests this hypothesis with respect to Chile, a country where private insurance is widespread and managed care is emerging. It concludes that by studying the experience of other nations we might gain a larger perspective on the context of our concerns in …
Regulating Doctors, Carl E. Schneider
Regulating Doctors, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
Alawyer today can hardly speak to a doctor--or even be treated by one-without being assailed by lawyer jokes. These jokes go well beyond good-humored badinage and pass the line into venom and gall. They reflect, I think, the sense many doctors today have that they are embattled and endangered, cruelly subject to pervasive and perverse controls. This is puzzling, almost to the point of mystery. Doctors have long been the American profession with the greatest social prestige, the greatest wealth, and the greatest control over its work. Indeed, what other profession has been as all-conquering? One may need to go …

Keeping Clean Waters Clean: Making The Clean Water Act's Antidegradation Policy Work, John A. Chilson
Keeping Clean Waters Clean: Making The Clean Water Act's Antidegradation Policy Work, John A. Chilson
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note stresses the importance of making the Clean Water Act's antidegradation policy work in order to avoid a system of national waters of equally mediocre quality. The Nation's highest quality and most important waters are not receiving appropriate protection under the Act because the antidegradation policy contains vague definitions, the states fail to review water quality standards every three years and to entertain citizens' petitions, and the Environmental Protection Agency has not taken an active role in ensuring compliance with federal standards. This Note examines the schemes of the Great Lakes States and Florida and hypothesizes that similar provisions …

Provoking Introspection: A Reply To Galanter & Palay, Hull, Kelly, Lesnick, Mclaughlin, Pepper, And Traynor, Patrick J. Schiltz
Vanderbilt Law Review
I have benefitted enormously from reading the Responses, and I am grateful to all of the commentators for entering into this conversation with me. There is much in each of the seven Responses to which I would like to reply-sometimes to agree, sometimes to disagree, sometimes to elaborate, sometimes just to express puzzlement. Unfortunately, though, my time and space are extremely limited. Given those limitations, I will first reply generally to Marc Galanter and Thomas Palay, Michael Kelly, Howard Lesnick, Stephen Pepper, and Michael Traynor, all of whom seem to be at least somewhat sympathetic to the underlying theme of …
Narrow Application Of Buckley V. Valeo: Is Campaign Finance Reform Possible In The Eighth Circuit, The, Matthew S. Criscimagna
Narrow Application Of Buckley V. Valeo: Is Campaign Finance Reform Possible In The Eighth Circuit, The, Matthew S. Criscimagna
Missouri Law Review
Federal campaign finance reform has been a hot topic as of late, from the recent debates of the McCain-Feingold bill in Congress to the investigation of alleged violations in connection with the 1996 presidential election. The issue of campaign finance reform is of equal importance on the state level. A majority of states have been reforming their campaign finance laws since 1990.2 However, these reforms have not avoided constitutional challenges. The Eighth Circuit has been particularly harsh when reviewing challenges to state campaign finance reform. This has led to a limited number of alternatives for the states to employ when …
What Happened To The Equity In Equitable Subrogation, Robert M. Smith
What Happened To The Equity In Equitable Subrogation, Robert M. Smith
Missouri Law Review
The doctrine of equitable subrogation provides courts with a vehicle to allow a lending institution that has paid off an existing loan to take the original lending institution's place in priority status. 2 While the doctrine appears quite simple, courts have been remarkably inconsistent in their approaches to allowing equitable subrogation claims. This Note discusses the various approaches taken by courts today, and more importantly, analyzes Missouri's current approach as affirmed most recently in Metnor Financial, Inc. v. Landoll Corporation.
Cap-Sized: How The Promise Of The Price Cap Voyage To Competition Was Lost In A Sea Of Good Intentions, Gregory J. Vogt
Cap-Sized: How The Promise Of The Price Cap Voyage To Competition Was Lost In A Sea Of Good Intentions, Gregory J. Vogt
Federal Communications Law Journal
This Article explores the Federal Communication Commission’s efforts to regulate into being marketplace economic forces through price cap regulation. A comprehensive analysis of the history and policies behind price cap regulation of LECs offers guidance for the future. Ultimately, while progress towards local exchange competition has been made, certain important adjustments should be implemented to allow price caps to achieve their full potential. These changes, consistent with the original theory of price caps, will in turn help speed the transition to competition.

The First Amendment Case Against Fcc Ip Telephony Regulation, Tuan N. Samahon
The First Amendment Case Against Fcc Ip Telephony Regulation, Tuan N. Samahon
Federal Communications Law Journal
This Comment argues that IP telephony, like handbills and traditional print media, deserves First Amendment protection against FCC regulatory authority. After briefly reviewing the IP telephony phenomenon within the larger context of "digital convergence," the Comment examines the FCC and Supreme Court’s technologically driven First Amendment jurisprudence—particularly, the First Amendment’s conspicuous absence from the IP telephony dialogue, and, correspondingly, the prominence of assurances of regulatory forbearance in Congress, the courts, and the FCC. In response, the Author offers First Amendment content-based and content-neutral arguments against the proposed telephony regulations. At the very least, the affordability and innovation IP telephony offers …

To Net Or Not To Net: Singapore’S Regulation Of The Internet, Sarah B. Hogan
Federal Communications Law Journal
Internet access has become almost commonplace, as has the unfettered exchange of ideas through cyberspace. Several nations, Singapore among them, have attempted to control their citizens’ Internet access in order to preserve and protect a desired national culture. A brief overview of the technological means of Internet censorship reveals a hidden truth: If Singapore truly wishes to become the technological giant of the East, the government will have to sacrifice its desire to control Internet content.

Convergence And Competition: The Case Of Bank Regulation In Britain And The United States, Heidi Mandanis Schooner, Michael Taylor
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Article consists of four main parts. Part I introduces the convergence by competition model as it applies to the regulation of financial institutions and sets the stage for the test case application of the model to the regulatory systems in the United States and United Kingdom. Part II provides a comparative history of bank regulation in Britain and the United States. Central to our argument is the proposition that, even in the presence of globalized financial markets and the opportunities for rule competition brought in their wake, the bank regulatory systems of the United States and Britain continue to …

The Rise Of The International Trust, Jeffrey A. Schoenblum
The Rise Of The International Trust, Jeffrey A. Schoenblum
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
With considerable acuity, Carlyn S. McCaffrey and Elyse G.Kirschner explore the maze created by the new Code and treasury regulation provisions. In addition to affording a fascinating roadmap through the maze, their article, Learning to Live with the New Foreign Nongrantor Trust Rules, demonstrates the difficulty of addressing legislatively the multitude of trust arrangements that can be devised in the struggle between grantors worldwide and the U.S. tax authorities. The article also exposes the inevitable generation of unintended consequences, including new loopholes, that are a product of such legislation.
In a second tax article, Respect for "Form" as "Substance" in …

After comparing the different disclosure frameworks, the article addresses efforts that have been made to regulate or standardize the world's markets on a more international level. Finally, the article discusses where we should go next in the quest to create greater harmony in a truly global marketplace.

Corralling Kevorkian: Regulating Physician-Assisted Suicide In America, Steve Calandrillo
Articles
This article examines the evolution and history of the development of the right-to-die in America, the ethical considerations surrounding physician-assisted suicide (P.A.S.), and the dangers posed by the rise of managed care. I then explore and analyze efforts to legalize and regulate assisted suicide (Netherlands, Oregon, The Model State Act), and suggest the criteria I believe are essential to include in any P.A.S. regulatory scheme.

Internet Gambling: Popular, Inexorable, And (Eventually) Legal, Tom Bell
Internet Gambling: Popular, Inexorable, And (Eventually) Legal, Tom Bell
Tom W. Bell
This paper describes the powerful demand for Internet gambling, analyzes the forces arrayed against it, and argues against its prohibition. Attempts to outlaw Internet gambling will inevitably fail. The very architecture of the Internet will frustrate prohibitionists, while consumer demand for Internet gambling and the states' demand for tax revenue will create enormous political pressures for legalization.
Derivatives Regulation In The Context Of The Shingle Theory, Allen Madison
Derivatives Regulation In The Context Of The Shingle Theory, Allen Madison
Allen Madison
This article discusses the regulation of derivative financial instruments. It notes that the government has neither come to a conclusion as to the necessity of regulation nor which agency would have jurisdiction. It also suggests that one tool that regulators could use as an enforcement tool is the "shingle" theory. Next, it provides history and analysis of this theory. Finally, it examines the current state of affairs regarding regulation of derivatives.
