Pharmaceutical Drug Pricing: The Internet As A Solution For This Health Issue Turned Financial Issue, Thomas P. Kelly
Pharmaceutical Drug Pricing: The Internet As A Solution For This Health Issue Turned Financial Issue, Thomas P. Kelly
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
Over the course of five decades, American annual expenditure on pharmaceutical drugs has increased by more than $350 billion. This drastic increase has led many patients to struggle to afford their necessary, and potentially life-saving, medications. Today’s high pharmaceutical prices are largely due to the fact that name-brand drug manufacturers have few restrictions on how much they can charge for their products. Additionally, name-brand manufacturers are able to monopolize the manufacture of their drugs because patent laws prevent other manufacturers from using the formula of these drugs for two decades. To combat these high prices, this Note proposes a partnership …
How Much Do Expert Opinions Matter? An Empirical Investigation Of Selection Bias, Adversarial Bias, And Judicial Deference In Chinese Medical, Chunyan Ding
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
This article investigates the nature of the operation and the role of expert opinions in Chinese medical negligence litigation, drawing on content analysis of 3,619 medical negligence cases and an in-depth survey of judges with experience of adjudicating medical negligence cases. It offers three major findings: first, that both parties to medical negligence disputes show significant selection bias of medical opinions, as do courts when selecting court-appointed experts; second, expert opinions in medical negligence litigation demonstrate substantial adversarial bias; third, courts display very strong judicial deference to expert opinions in determining medical negligence liability. This article fills the methodological gap …

Justice And The Struggle For The Soul Of Medicaid, Dayna Bowen Matthew
Justice And The Struggle For The Soul Of Medicaid, Dayna Bowen Matthew
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
The soul of Medicaid is and always has been to achieve justice in health care. Medicaid at its inception was designed to ensure that the most vulnerable members of society are not excluded from access to good health that all others enjoy. Yet, as the title of this symposium aptly reflects, “The Struggle for the Soul of Medicaid” remains vulnerable to repeated and relentless political attacks. Why is this so, given that the program finances care for nearly sixty-four million Americans?
This article posits that Medicaid is vulnerable because our nation’s commitment to justice in health care remains uncertain. Historically, …
Medicaid’S Role For Seniors And People With Disabilities: Current State Trends, Marybeth Musumeci
Medicaid’S Role For Seniors And People With Disabilities: Current State Trends, Marybeth Musumeci
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
Medicaid fills a gap in the U.S. health care system as the primary payor for long-term services and supports (LTSS). These services enable seniors, people with disabilities, and those with chronic illnesses to live independently in the community, outside of nursing homes and other institutions. Most Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) are covered at state option, unlike nursing home care, which all state Medicaid programs must cover. States have substantial flexibility in designing their Medicaid HCBS programs under federal law, and Medicaid provides an important source of federal funding to states to help meet the LTSS needs of seniors …
Social Work As An Important Collaborator In Transdisciplinary Public Health Law: Why Does It Matter And Where Does It Fit?, Heather A. Walter-Mccabe
Social Work As An Important Collaborator In Transdisciplinary Public Health Law: Why Does It Matter And Where Does It Fit?, Heather A. Walter-Mccabe
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
Public health law has been a growing field over the last few decades. From the early days of its initial recognition as an academic and professional field to its more recent texts and treatises, public health law is continuing to define itself. To that end, Burris et al. recently published two works describing a transdisciplinary model of public health law and five essential services of public health law.
This article examines how the inclusion of social work in the model can be instrumental in forming better public health laws. The intentional inclusion of social work collaborators would supplement legal and …
Painfully Prescribed: Could Taking Opioids As Legal Treatment Result In Discrimination Uncovered By The Ada?, Rachael Elyse Palmer
Painfully Prescribed: Could Taking Opioids As Legal Treatment Result In Discrimination Uncovered By The Ada?, Rachael Elyse Palmer
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
Amended in 2008, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), with its sole mission to protect individuals with disabilities, is still gaping with holes in coverage due to recent court interpretations. One such interpretation is the lack of protection for patients being treated with legally prescribed medications. With widespread misconceptions about opioid use and its effects, employers take adverse action upon their employees seeking necessary treatment. This paper will discuss the harmful consequences of courts narrowly interpreting the ADA against coverage of these patients, as well as the potential revitalization of the ADA’s mission in pending actions.

A Program For All Seasons, Sara Rosenbaum
A Program For All Seasons, Sara Rosenbaum
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
From its beginnings as a modest health care companion to cash welfare assistance, Medicaid has become foundational to the American health care system. Medicaid’s success in insuring the poor while continually evolving in response to countless emerging health needs is the result of its public health character, which represents a fundamental departure from the eligibility and coverage strictures and norms on which other forms of insurance depend.
Hypothesizing A Small Opioid Mdl Settlement: An Argument For Local Public Health Action And Lessons From Big Tobacco, Ashton K. Dietrich
Hypothesizing A Small Opioid Mdl Settlement: An Argument For Local Public Health Action And Lessons From Big Tobacco, Ashton K. Dietrich
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
In response to the opioid epidemic, counties and cities across the United States waged In re: National Prescription Opiate Litigation, better known as the opioid MDL, against manufacturers and distributors of opioids. The county and city plaintiffs appear to have taken their litigation strategy straight from Big Tobacco playbook of the 1990s. This is to the great disdain of state attorneys general, who fronted Big Tobacco litigation with state-sponsored parens patriae litigation.
The state attorneys general vehemently assert that the MDL claims are the province of state governments rather than local governments. However, the attorney general-led Big Tobacco litigation …

The Administration’S Medicaid Waivers: Exploding In The Guise Of Experimenting, Jane Perkins
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
Congress enacted the Medicaid Act with the stated purpose of furnishing medical assistance to low-income people. Medicaid participation is not required of a state, but if a state does choose to participate—which they all do—the federal government will contribute the lion’s share of the cost of providing care. In return, the state agrees to pay the remaining costs of care. The state must also adhere to the detailed regulatory scheme Congress placed in the Medicaid Act, including requirements for determining eligibility for the program and the scope and affordability of coverage. Section 1115 of the Social Security Act authorizes the …

Going Rogue: Mobile Research Applications And The Right To Privacy, Stacey A. Tovino
Notre Dame Law Review
This Article investigates whether nonsectoral state laws may serve as a viable source of privacy and security standards for mobile health research participants and other health data subjects until new federal laws are created or enforced. In particular, this Article (1) catalogues and analyzes the nonsectoral data privacy, security, and breach notification statutes of all fifty states and the District of Columbia; (2) applies these statutes to mobile-app-mediated health research conducted by independent scientists, citizen scientists, and patient researchers; and (3) proposes substantive amendments to state law that could help protect the privacy and security of all health data subjects, …
Protecting Health Information In Utero: A Radical Proposal, Luke Isaac Haqq
Protecting Health Information In Utero: A Radical Proposal, Luke Isaac Haqq
Journal of Law and Policy
This Article introduces an underappreciated space in which protected health information (“PHI”) remains largely unprotected, a fact that will become only more problematic as clinical medicine increasingly turns to genomics. The past decade has seen significant advances in the prevention of birth defects, especially with the introduction of clinical preconception, prenatal, and neonatal genomic sequencing. Parental access to the results of embryonic and fetal clinical sequencing is critical to reproductive autonomy; results can provide parents with important considerations in determining whether to seek or avoid conception, as well as in deciding whether to carry a pregnancy to term. The information …

Hb 217 - Needle Exchange Program, Alexandra L. Armbruster, J. Bryan Watford
Georgia State University Law Review
The Act authorizes certain nonprofit organizations and hospitals to operate clean needle exchange programs. These programs allow individuals who inject drugs to exchange their needles for clean, unused needles. The purpose of these programs is to prevent the spread of HIV, Hepatitis C, and other infectious diseases associated with the repeated use and sharing of needles. The Act further authorizes the Department of Public Health to regulate the registration of organizations that will participate in these programs and protects employees of those organizations from being charged with crimes or offenses associated with selling, lending, giving, or exchanging needles.

The Act defines abortion, prescribes when abortions may be performed, provides exceptions to abortion performance limitations, establishes requirements for performing an abortion, and provides for a right of action, damages, and affirmative defenses. The Act permits alimony and child support payments starting when an unborn child has a detectable human heartbeat. Parents have the right to recover the full value of a child’s life when a detectable human heartbeat exists. The Act requires …

Sb 106 - Patients First Act, Jasmine Nicole Becerra, Leanne E. Livingston
Georgia State University Law Review
The Patients First Act amends both Title 49 and Title 33 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, which allows the state to apply for two federal waivers. One being the Section 1115 waiver to the Social Security Act. The second being the Section 1332 waiver to the Affordable Care Act.

Concussions And Contracts: The National Football League's Limitations To Protecting Its Players From Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, Julia Wolpert
Concussions And Contracts: The National Football League's Limitations To Protecting Its Players From Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, Julia Wolpert
Journal of Law and Health
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative brain injury that has become prevalent among high-contact professional sports, especially American football. More and more retired players are exhibiting symptoms of CTE and being diagnosed with CTE post-mortem. While the neuroscience community constantly releases studies showing a causal connection between brain trauma and CTE, the National Football League (NFL) continues to deny that any brain injury can arise from playing football. The NFL must implement provisions in their contracts to fully inform and protect players from this lethal brain injury. This article examines the repercussions of CTE, how players’ contracts do and …
A New Age Of Evolution: Protecting The Consumer’S Moral And Legal Right To Know Through The Clear And Transparent Labeling Of All Genetically Modified Foods, Halie M. Evans
Journal of Law and Health
The United States government, until recently, did not require the labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). On July 29, 2016, President Barack Obama signed into law the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard (NBFDS). This law directs the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to create regulations that require manufacturers to disclose certain bioengineered products on food labels. On December 20, 2018, the USDA released the final regulations for the NBFDS, which requires food manufactures, importers, and certain retailers to ensure bioengineered foods are appropriately disclosed. The final regulations include provisions that will leave the majority of GMO derived foods unlabeled. …
Time For Change: Stepping Up The Fda's Regulation Of Dietary Supplements To Promote Consumer Safety And Awareness, George Kennett
Time For Change: Stepping Up The Fda's Regulation Of Dietary Supplements To Promote Consumer Safety And Awareness, George Kennett
Journal of Law and Health
People are often looking for that quick fix when it comes to their health. With dietary supplements so readily available on the market, the public assume that they have been through rigorous testing. Dietary supplements are not tested as much as consumers believe. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not initiate the same type of testing and analysis for supplements as it does for food, drink and medication. Given that people are now choosing supplemental meal replacements and the like, as opposed to whole foods, regulations drastically need to be stepped up in an effort to emphasise public safety. …

Parens Patriae And Parental Rights: When Should The State Override Parental Medical Decisions?, Elchanan G. Stern
Journal of Law and Health
Alfie Evans was a terminally ill British child whose parents, clinging to hope, were desperately trying to save his life. Hospital authorities disagreed and petitioned the court to enjoin the parents from removing him and taking him elsewhere for treatment. The court stepped in and compelled the hospital to discontinue life support and claimed that further treatment was not in the child’s best interest. This note discusses the heartbreaking stories of Alfie and two other children whose parents’ medical decisions on their behalf were overridden by the court. It argues that courts should never decide that death is in a …

Sb 18 - Direct Primary Care, Valentin H. Dubuis, Juliana Mesa
Georgia State University Law Review
This legislation allows physicians to offer specified care for a specific time pursuant to a fixed fee. The physician cannot require more than one year’s payment upfront, and the agreement has to be terminable by either party with thirty days’ notice. Physicians do not have to provide care if the fee has not been paid or the patient has committed fraud, failed to adhere to treatment, or is in physical danger.

Puff Puff Pass The Legislation: A Comparison Of E-Cigarette Regulations Across Borders, Rachel E. Zarrabi
Puff Puff Pass The Legislation: A Comparison Of E-Cigarette Regulations Across Borders, Rachel E. Zarrabi
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
This comment explores the types of legislation, approaches to regulating e-cigarettes, and analyzes whether the FDA’s campaign and current regulations are effective. So far, it appears that the United States is ahead of the game with its new, aggressive proposal for regulating e-cigarettes. The FDA is standing against the companies and products that target youthful consumers. Most countries acknowledge the gaps in current scientific research regarding the long-term health risks of vaping, and some are waiting to take a legislative stance until it is clearer which side of the health line e-cigarettes fall. Section II of this comment discusses the …
