Threats To Medicaid And Health Equity Intersection, Mary Crossley Jan 2019

Threats To Medicaid And Health Equity Intersection, Mary Crossley

Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy

The year 2017 proved politically tumultuous in the U.S. on many fronts, but perhaps none more so than health care. For enrollees in the Medicaid program, it was a “year of living precariously.” Long-promised Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act also took aim at Medicaid, with proposals to fundamentally restructure the program and drastically cut its federal funding. These proposals provoked pushback from multiple fronts, including formal opposition from groups representing people with disabilities and people of color and individual protesters. Opposition by these groups should not have surprised the proponents of “reforming” Medicaid. Both people of color …

A State’S Effort To Enhance Health Care: Empowering Pharmacists With Prescribing Authority, Madhav Y. Bhatt Jan 2019

A State’S Effort To Enhance Health Care: Empowering Pharmacists With Prescribing Authority, Madhav Y. Bhatt

Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy

High rates of unintended pregnancies and costs associated with them have been a concern for the health care system in the U.S. The State of Oregon took a unique approach to reduce unintended pregnancy rates within its borders. Oregon enacted a statute that authorized pharmacists to prescribe hormonal contraceptives, which expanded the scope of practice of pharmacists. This Article explores whether states, instead of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), should regulate the scope of practice of health care professionals. This Article further explores the impact of Oregon’s law on access to hormonal contraceptives, safety of women’s health, and costs …


Medical Marijuana And The Ada: Following The Path Blazed By State Courts To Extend Protection, Stephen M. Scannell Jan 2019

Medical Marijuana And The Ada: Following The Path Blazed By State Courts To Extend Protection, Stephen M. Scannell

Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy

Thirty-three states across the country have legalized the use of medical marijuana for disabled individuals. Nevertheless, medical marijuana’s status in the workplace still faces significant uncertainty, because the current understanding of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) categorizes medical marijuana use as an “illegal use of drugs.” Thus, the ADA provides no protection for disabled employees seeking to treat their condition with medical marijuana. In recent years, courts deciding cases involving state medical marijuana and anti-discrimination statutes have brought a more patient-centered and pragmatic approach to the issue. These courts have offered an interpretation of the “illegal use of drugs” …

Rethinking Lawyer Ethics To Allow The Rules Of Evidence, Rules Of Civil Procedure, And Private Agreements To Control Ethical Obligations Involving Inadvertent Disclosures, Tory L. Lucas Jan 2019

Rethinking Lawyer Ethics To Allow The Rules Of Evidence, Rules Of Civil Procedure, And Private Agreements To Control Ethical Obligations Involving Inadvertent Disclosures, Tory L. Lucas

Saint Louis University Law Journal

This Article seeks to align the rules of ethics with the rules of evidence, rules of civil procedure, and private agreements in confronting the vexing issue of inadvertent disclosures. It proposes a clear-eyed modification of Model Rule of Professional Conduct 4.4(b) to require a lawyer to use an inadvertent disclosure of confidential or privileged information unless prohibited by the rules of evidence, rules of civil procedure, or private agreement. This inadvertent-disclosure proposal fairly balances the interests of the justice system, civility in the legal profession, and protection of clients.

Would The Ada Pass Today?: Disability Rights In An Age Of Partisan Polarization, Laura Rothstein Jan 2019

Would The Ada Pass Today?: Disability Rights In An Age Of Partisan Polarization, Laura Rothstein

Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) was the most significant civil rights legislation enacted since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It provided comprehensive protection against discrimination for individuals with disabilities in employment, public accommodations, and public services. It built on § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act that provided these protections only to programs receiving federal financial assistance. It afforded broad access to those individuals who had benefitted from the 1975 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This complex and far-reaching legislation was made possible by a confluence of timing and the right people at the right place at …

Building A Better Bar Exam, Marsha Griggs Jan 2019

Building A Better Bar Exam, Marsha Griggs

All Faculty Scholarship

In the wake of declining bar passage rates and limited placement options for law grads, a new bar exam has emerged: the UBE. Drawn to an allusive promise of portability, 36 U.S. jurisdictions have adopted the UBE. I predict that in a few years the UBE will be administered in all states and U.S. territories. The UBE has snowballed from an idea into the primary gateway for entry into the practice of law. But the UBE is not a panacea that will solve the bar passage problems that U.S. law schools face. Whether or not to adopt a uniform exam …
