The Role Of Courts In Health Care Rationing: The German Model, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost
The Role Of Courts In Health Care Rationing: The German Model, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost
Timothy S. Jost
Virtually every country in the world is currently attempting to find ways to ration health care services in order to control exploding health care costs.

Health Law And Administrative Law: A Marriage Most Convenient, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost
Timothy S. Jost
This symposium explores the complex relationship between health law and administrative law. It is based on the observation that these two fields of law are peculiarly intertwined.

The federal tax subsidy, however, will only be available in states whose program of insurance regulation permits high deductible health plans to exist. The MMA represents, therefore, a new approach to federalism in health insurance - offering tax incentives for states to change their approach to insurance regulation rather than preempting state regulation or imposing federal regulation.

Health Insurance Exchanges: Legal Issues, Timothy S. Jost
Health Insurance Exchanges: Legal Issues, Timothy S. Jost
Timothy S. Jost
Health insurance exchanges (HIE) are entities that organize the market for health insurance by connecting small businesses and individuals into larger pools that spread the risk for insurance companies, while facilitating the availability, choice and purchase of private health insurance for the uninsured. While there are legal issues that warrant consideration under a federal, state, or private exchange framework, those issues are not insurmountable barriers to implementation.
