Reading Remedially: What Does "King V. Burwell" Teach Us About Modern Statutory Interpretation, And Can It Help Solve The Problems Of Cercla § 113(H)?, Benjamin Raker
Vanderbilt Law Review
In the latter half of the twentieth century, Congress drafted a law to solve a problem. As decades passed, that problem became increasingly complex. In the new millennium, Congress became increasingly polarized, and increasingly unproductive. In the face of that inaction, the executive branch decided to rely on a provision of that earlier law to address a modern facet of that earlier problem. Or litigants decided to ask a court to rely on a provision of that earlier law to address a modern facet of that earlier problem. The Congress that drafted the law might not have understood this modern …

No Vip Treatment: Acos Should Not Get Waiver Protection From The Prohibition On Beneficiary Inducement, Soraya Ghebleh
Vanderbilt Law Review
Virgil is known for saying "the greatest wealth is health."' Based on the astronomical amount spent on healthcare, the United States has taken his idea literally-spending more "wealth" will lead to greater "health." In 2006, the United States spent over seven thousand dollars per person annually on healthcare. While that number may not seem very high to spend on an individual level, the total amounted to approximately 2.1 trillion dollars in 2006. In 2014, that number hit three trillion, or seventeen percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product ("GDP"). One justification for spending nearly one-fifth of the United States GDP …

Genome Editing And The Jurisprudence Of Scientific Empiricism, Paul Enriquez
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
Humankind has reached, in tow by the hand of a scientific breakthrough called CRISPR, the Rubicon of precise genetic manipulation first envisioned over fifty years ago. Despite CRISPR's renown in science and its power to transform the world, it remains virtually unaddressed in legal scholarship. In the absence of on-point law, the scientific community has attempted to reach some consensus to preempt antagonistic regulation and prescribe subjective standards of use under the guise of a priori scientific empiricism. Significant and complex legal issues concerning this technology are emerging, and the void in legal scholarship is no longer tolerable.

Following Footsteps: How Federal District Court Jurisprudence Protects Health Data In The Workplace, J. T. Parisi
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
With the growing popularity of fitness tracking technology, employers have started to provide their employees with fitness tracking devices in order to obtain a subsidy on employer group health plans. Access to this data creates an opportunity to abuse the data by using it when making employment decisions. This Note analyzes how the current legal framework does not adequately protect the data and employees. The solution suggests using a recent case to provide the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission with authority to regulate employers' use of the health data until adequate privacy and data security laws can address the problem.

For Americans in the labor market with health conditions that fall outside the scope of the ADA, the rehabilitation Act, and GINA, antihealthism legislation, like the kind proposed by Roberts and Leonard, 9would unquestionably serve as a critical first step in increasing their legal protections in the workplace. Moreover, to the extent that such legislation would also operate outside the workplace, it could expand legal protections even for individuals who presently enjoy coverage by disability and genetic discrimination laws solely inside the workplace. Yet, as this article has argued, simple healthism-discriminatory animus based solely on health-may be surprisingly rare. Existing …
