Can Consumers Control Health-Care Costs?, Mark A. Hall, Carl E. Schneider
Can Consumers Control Health-Care Costs?, Mark A. Hall, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
The ultimate aim of health care policy is good care at good prices. Managed care failed to achieve this goal through influencing providers, so health policy has turned to the only market-based option left: treating patients like consumers. Health insurance and tax policy now pressure patients to spend their own money when they select health plans, providers, and treatments. Expecting patients to choose what they need at the price they want, consumerists believe that market competition will constrain costs while optimizing quality. This classic form of consumerism is today’s health policy watchword. This article evaluates consumerism and the regulatory mechanism …

Michigan Journal of International Law
In 2003, Paul Hunt, the U.N. Commission on Human Rights' Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, presented a report on the global availability of health care.

One area Hunt left unexplored in his report was …

Does The Individual Mandate Coerce?, Sergio Campos, Raphael Boleslavsky
Does The Individual Mandate Coerce?, Sergio Campos, Raphael Boleslavsky
Sergio J. Campos
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act includes an individual mandate which penalizes individuals who do not purchase health insurance. Critics of the individual mandate, including a majority of justices on the Supreme Court, contend that Congress cannot use its Commerce Clause power to coerce individuals to buy a product. Supporters concede that the mandate coerces but argue that it is otherwise permissible under the Commerce Clause. This Essay questions whether the individual mandate coerces. It uses a simple economic model to show that, under certain conditions, the individual mandate induces insurers to sell health insurance at a price each …

What Is Wrong With The Long-Term Care Reforms In The Defecit Reduction Act Of 2005? , Ellen O'Brien
What Is Wrong With The Long-Term Care Reforms In The Defecit Reduction Act Of 2005? , Ellen O'Brien
Marquette Elder's Advisor
Cutting Medicaid is unlikely to substantially increase private sources of long-term care financing, and future financing reform needs to focus on the actual flaws in the current means-tested system of long-term care financing. In order to make this argument, this article briefly describes the goals of the DRA and the policy reforms that seek to limit eligibility for the middle-class elderly. Next, the article draws on a wide range of empirical studies conduct over the past two decades to demonstrate that the impact of Medicaid planning is not quantitatively significant, and that by and large, the elderly assume substantial personal …

International Human Rights And The Elderly, Jaclynn M. Miller
Marquette Elder's Advisor
This article argues that despite the international instruments that make reference to the rights of the elderly, steps still need to be taken to ensure that both laws and enforcement policies are being created internationally and nationally to protect the elderly, especially those who need institutionalized care. For this to occur, better enforcement mechanisms must be created, primarily an international treaty specifically designed to protect the rights of the elderly. In the course of this argument, the article discusses the definition of old age, the existing international legal framework for the protection of the elderly, and examples of elder abuse. …

The Disappearing Provision: Medical Liability Reform Vanishes From The Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act Despite State Court Split, Rafael Andre Roberti
The Disappearing Provision: Medical Liability Reform Vanishes From The Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act Despite State Court Split, Rafael Andre Roberti
Legislation and Policy Brief
The legal and medical communities have debated the impact and necessity of medical liability reform for over twenty years. At the heart of the debate is the question of how to strike a balance between compensating patients and their families for the thousands of deaths and injuries resulting from medical errors that occur annually, and encouraging physicians to continue to care for patients across America. While several states have passed medical liability reform laws previously, on March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)—colloquially known as the “health care bill”—that contains provisions on medical …

An O’Neill Institute Briefing Paper: The Supreme Court’S Landmark Decision On The Affordable Care Act: Healthcare Reform’S Ultimate Fate Remains Uncertain, Emily W. Parento, Lawrence O. Gostin
O'Neill Institute Papers
The Supreme Court’s decision on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a landmark on the path toward ensuring universal access to health care in the United States. In a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice Roberts, the Court upheld the law in its entirety with the sole exception that Congress may not revoke existing state Medicaid funding to penalize states that decline to participate in the Medicaid expansion under the ACA. In this O’Neill Institute Briefing, we explain and analyze the Court’s decision, focusing on the individual purchase mandate and the Medicaid expansion, while …
