Systemic Failures In Health Care Oversight, Julie L. Campbell
Systemic Failures In Health Care Oversight, Julie L. Campbell
Georgia Law Review
Hospitals are intentionally shirking their duty to identify and report incompetent medical practitioners, and it is causing catastrophic injuries to patients. Why are hospitals doing this? Two decades of health care reforms have changed the way physicians and hospitals interact in the U.S. health care system, and as a result, the traditional health care oversight tools no longer work to ensure physician competence. With three out of four physicians now employees of hospitals or health care systems, hospitals have become the guardians of both the internal and external warning systems designed to flag incompetent practitioners. As the guardians, hospitals are …
Health Care Fraud And The Erosion Of Trust, Katrice Bridges Copeland
Health Care Fraud And The Erosion Of Trust, Katrice Bridges Copeland
Northwestern University Law Review
In health care, trust is a foundational concept. Patients must trust that their medical practitioners are competent to treat them. The trustworthiness of medical practitioners encourages patients to disclose intimate facts about their medical issues. Further, patients must trust health care providers to demonstrate impartial concern for the patients’ well-being, also known as fidelity. In providing care, the needs of the patients, rather than financial incentives, must drive medical practitioners. Without this trust, patients may not cooperate with diagnosis and treatment. In addition to trusting providers, care outcomes are better if patients trust the health care system as a whole. …

The Legacy Of Trust Promises: Native American Healthcare (Note), Hailey Trawick
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
From European colonialism to the establishment of the United States, the rights, history, and independence of Native Americans have been systematically stripped away. The American government expanded rapidly, forcibly displacing indigenous populations from their native lands and moving them to reservations with inferior resources and space. During a forced removal, often instituted by treaties between American Indian tribes and the federal government, government officials offered protection and access to resources in exchange for vast tribal land. Although treaty-making with American tribes ended over a century ago, their deleterious and often broken promises continue to haunt us.
Part I of this …
A Case For Brandeisian Federalism: The Erisa Preemption Clause And State Health Care Reform, Jordan May
A Case For Brandeisian Federalism: The Erisa Preemption Clause And State Health Care Reform, Jordan May
DePaul Journal of Health Care Law
The United States spends more for health care per capita than any other country in the world. Despite spending more, the United States has weaker health care outcomes than other similarly developed countries. This fact alone makes health care an important subject for policy reform. Given the current partisan gridlock in Congress, it is difficult to foresee any significant legislation in the area of health care reform at the federal level in the near future. As a result, Congress has allocated major health care reform efforts to the states. However, ERISA stands as a huge obstacle to state health care …

Section 1115 Waivers: Innovation Through Experimentation, Or Stagnation Through Routine?, Nicole Johnson
Emory Law Journal
The Medicaid program operates as a federal-state partnership, in which the states agree to meet certain federally mandated requirements in exchange for federal matching funds for program expenditures. These federal matching funds can be anywhere from 50–90% of health care expenses incurred through state Medicaid programs. As such, states have a substantial interest in continuing this partnership and ensuring that their state plans comply with federal requirements. There is a way, though, in which states can gain more freedom in building their individual state plans. Through section 1115 waivers, states can ask the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) …

One Child Town: The Health Care Exceptionalism Case Against Agglomeration Economies, Elizabeth Weeks
One Child Town: The Health Care Exceptionalism Case Against Agglomeration Economies, Elizabeth Weeks
Utah Law Review
This Article offers an extended rebuttal to the suggestion to move residents away from dying communities to places with greater economic promise. Rural America, arguably, is one of those dying places. A host of strategies aim to shore up those communities and make them more economically viable. But one might ask, “Why bother?” In a similar vein, David Schleicher’s provocative 2017 Yale Law Journal article, Stuck! The Law and Economics of Residential Stagnation, recommended dismantling a host of state and local government laws that operate as barriers to migration by Americans from failing economies to robust agglomeration economies. But Schleicher …
Health Care Fraud Means Never Having To Say You're Sorry, Jacob T. Elberg
Health Care Fraud Means Never Having To Say You're Sorry, Jacob T. Elberg
Washington Law Review
For decades, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a steady flood of press releases announcing False Claims Act (FCA) settlements against health care entities and extolling the purportedly sharp message sent to the industry through these settlements about the consequences of engaging in wrongdoing. The FCA is the primary mechanism for government enforcement against health care entities engaged in wrongdoing, and it is expected to be DOJ’s key tool for addressing fraud arising out of government programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. DOJ has pointed to three key goals of its enforcement efforts (deterrence, incentivizing cooperation, and building …

A Path To Data-Driven Health Care Enforcement, Jacob T. Elberg
A Path To Data-Driven Health Care Enforcement, Jacob T. Elberg
Utah Law Review
The Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has a long-stated goal of encouraging companies to engage in what the author refers to as “compliant behaviors”—maintenance of an effective pre-existing compliance program, post-enforcement adoption of an effective compliance program, cooperation with a government investigation, and self-disclosure of misconduct. Substantial DOJ guidance over the past two decades, along with the concrete incentive structure of the United States Sentencing Guidelines, have increasingly made clear to organizations when and how such behaviors will be rewarded in criminal matters. Recently, DOJ has made transparency and clarity regarding the benefit of compliant behaviors a priority in calculating and …

Necessary Coverage For Authentic Identity: How Bostock Made Title Vii The Strongest Protection Against Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance Denial Of Gender-Affirming Medical Care., Jennifer A. Knackert
Marquette Law Review
In June 2020, the United States Supreme Court held that Title VII
protection from discrimination on the basis of sex extended to LGBTQ+
employees. The Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia decision dealt with three
separate cases where LGBTQ+ employees had been fired from their jobs based
on either their sexual orientation or gender identity. While the shared issue in
these cases had to do with employee termination, the textualist argument
presented by the Court leads many legal scholars to believe that the holding
would be applicable to other areas of employment discrimination covered by
Title VII such as employer-sponsored healthcare …

The Great American Health Care System And The Dire Need For Change: Stark Law Reform As A Path To A Vital Future Of Value-Based Care, Marilyn Uzdavines
Texas A&M Law Review
Health care reform is one of the hottest topics in America. One need look no further than this year’s election cycle to see that health care reform was one of the main platforms for nearly every candidate for the 2020 election. Why is this the case? Healthcare costs amount to 17.9% of the overall Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”). This figure is shockingly high, especially when compared to health care costs of similarly situated countries. As it currently stands, the United States ranks at the top of per capita health care spending. Therefore, it should sadden the soul of our nation …
Healthy Data Protection, Lothar Determann
Healthy Data Protection, Lothar Determann
Michigan Technology Law Review
Modern medicine is evolving at a tremendous speed. On a daily basis, we learn about new treatments, drugs, medical devices, and diagnoses. Both established technology companies and start-ups focus on health-related products and services in competition with traditional healthcare businesses. Telemedicine and electronic health records have the potential to improve the effectiveness of treatments significantly. Progress in the medical field depends above all on data, specifically health information. Physicians, researchers, and developers need health information to help patients by improving diagnoses, customizing treatments and finding new cures.
Yet law and policymakers are currently more focused on the fact that health …
Prescription Restriction: Why Birth Control Must Be Over-The-Counter In The United States, Susannah Iles
Prescription Restriction: Why Birth Control Must Be Over-The-Counter In The United States, Susannah Iles
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
This Note argues that it is harmful and unnecessary to require women to obtain prescriptions for access to hormonal birth control. Requiring a prescription is necessarily a barrier to access which hurts women and hamstrings the ability to dictate their own reproductive plans. It is also an irrational regulation in light of the relative safety of hormonal birth control pills, particularly progestin-only formulations, compared to other drugs readily available on the shelves.
Leading medical organizations, including the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, advocate for over-the-counter access to hormonal birth control. While acknowledging that not every woman will have positive …

Armed Groups And The Protection Of Health Care, Ezequiel Heffes
Armed Groups And The Protection Of Health Care, Ezequiel Heffes
International Law Studies
That armed groups have been responsible for attacks against health care personnel and for violating the protection of health care is not news. This is one of the greatest humanitarian challenges of contemporary armed conflict. Armed groups, however, have also attempted to evacuate and treat wounded enemy fighters and civilians and, in certain contexts, they have even provided health care services for the civilian population living in the territories under their control. This article describes some of the key issues related to the variation of armed groups’ behaviors when dealing with the protection of health care, inquiring into why some …

Robots Are Coming: A Discussion Of Choice-Of-Law Issues And Outcomes In Telesurgical Malpractice, Megan Cloud
Texas A&M Law Review
New technology frequently emerges that challenges the legal status quo. Early adopters must then grapple with uncertainty over how the law will apply to novel legal quandaries. There is no better example of this than in medicine; however, the health care field is notoriously risk averse. Despite this, the practice of medicine stands to gain tremendously from these technological advancements. One such advancement is the relatively new ability to perform robotic surgery in which the surgeon is remote from the patient. Widespread use of this technology would improve rural access to surgical care, as well as improve access to more …

Unlocking Access To Health Care: A Federalist Approach To Reforming Occupational Licensing, Gabriel Scheffler
Unlocking Access To Health Care: A Federalist Approach To Reforming Occupational Licensing, Gabriel Scheffler
Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine
Several features of the existing occupational licensing system impede access to health care without providing appreciable protections for patients. Licensing restrictions prevent health care providers from offering services to the full extent of their competency, obstruct the adoption of telehealth, and deter foreign-trained providers from practicing in the United States. Scholars and policymakers have proposed a number of reforms to this system over the years, but these proposals have had a limited impact for political and institutional reasons.
Still, there are grounds for optimism. In recent years, the federal government has taken a range of initial steps to reform licensing …

Suggestions For State Laws On Biosimilar Substitution, Gary M. Fox
Suggestions For State Laws On Biosimilar Substitution, Gary M. Fox
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
Biologic drugs offer major advancements over small-molecule drugs when it comes to treating serious diseases. Biosimilars, which mimic innovative biologic drugs, have the potential to further revolutionize the practice of medicine. States now have decades of experience regulating the substitution of generic, small-molecule drugs for their brand-name equivalents. But the complexities of biologic drugs and biosimilars force states to confront novel scientific and legal issues. Many states have begun tackling those issues by passing laws that regulate when pharmacists may substitute biosimilars for their corresponding biologic drugs. Other states have yet to do so. This Note surveys five provisions common …
