Healthcare And Its Impact On Nurses: The United States Vs. The United Kingdom, Alexandria Colovos
Healthcare And Its Impact On Nurses: The United States Vs. The United Kingdom, Alexandria Colovos
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Currently, in the United States, the topic of healthcare reform is in the back of everyone’s mind. What will come of our healthcare system? Will the cost of healthcare decrease? Will patients have better access to care? With this Capstone Experience/Thesis, I wanted to explore the differences between the current healthcare system that we have in the United States, to the nearly seventy-year-old National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom, which provides healthcare to all. The NHS is free at the point of care and is funded by taxation. To understand if such a system would work in the …

Obamacare: Under The Knife, Kylan Rutherford
Marriott Student Review
President Trump and Congress have tried and failed to pass through a replacement plan for Obamacare. This article details why this effort failed, and several issues extant in Obamacare that may move the law toward insolvency. These issues are the mandate, guaranteed issue, and the 'risk corridor' funding set up to back struggling insurance companies.
Healthism, Intersectionality, And Health Insurance: The Compounded Problems Of Healthist Discrimination
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
Healthism can identify situations where a person is subject to a particular form of bigotry based on their individual health status. In health insurance, some forms of healthism are unavoidable due to the very nature of health insurance structures. However, when analyzing health insurance programs, particularly those that are funded through government, it is possible to utilize a healthism framework to, first, recognize and minimize and potentially ameliorate the worst effects of healthism combined with intersectionality. This Essay analyzes these issues as they relate to health insurance, Medicare, and the potential role of the Independent Payment Advisory Board.

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
I started teaching health law relatively recently-in the fall of 2010, just after the Affordable Care Act ("ACA") was enacted, but before much of it had been implemented. This timing has been a blessing because I started with a fresh slate rather than adding the ACA on top of a previously developed course. It has also been a curse, but ultimately I appreciate that I started teaching the course at a time when the ACA was under constant threat. The ever-evolving nature of health law means that health law teachers must always bear in mind a goal that applies to …

In the Fall of 2016, I taught Health Law and Policy for the fourth consecutive semester. Over time, one thing has become increasingly clear: the aspect of this course that I work with most closely as a scholar—the regulation of health care financing and insurance, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)—is also the material that I find the most challenging to teach. Every time I reflect on teaching this material, and hear from students about how they learn this material, the thing that stands out is how critical it is that my students understand the profound impact …
