It's The Economy (And Combined Ratio) Stupid: Examining The Medical Malpractice Litigation "Crisis" Myth And The Factors Critical To Reform, Mitchell J. Nathanson Feb 2004

It's The Economy (And Combined Ratio) Stupid: Examining The Medical Malpractice Litigation "Crisis" Myth And The Factors Critical To Reform, Mitchell J. Nathanson

Mitchell J Nathanson

This article examines the recurring medical malpractice litigation crisis with an eye toward pinpointing the elusive source of the problem. My thesis is that these crises have recurred every decade or so and will continue to recur indefinitely because the root cause has never been specifically identified. As a result, it is no surprise that reform attempts have proven to be universally ineffective. It is my conclusion that malpractice litigation reform has repeatedly failed because, contrary to the widely held view, there has never been a medical malpractice litigation crisis, per se. Rather, there have been cyclical insurance crises through …


Where Is Health Law Going?: Follow The Money, Robert L. Schwartz Jan 2004

Where Is Health Law Going?: Follow The Money, Robert L. Schwartz

Faculty Scholarship

Where has health law come from? Where will it be going? To follow the development of this discipline, follow the money.

Since the term "Health Law" was first used as a casebook …

Steering And Rowing In Health Care: The Devolution Option?, Colleen Flood, Joanna Erdman, Duncan Sinclair Jan 2004

Steering And Rowing In Health Care: The Devolution Option?, Colleen Flood, Joanna Erdman, Duncan Sinclair

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

Publicly funded health care systems are often the subject of heated policy debates. All too often (particularly in Canada), these debates focus on the prohibitive costs, the resultant taxation levels, and the questionable efficiency and outcomes associated with a publicly funded system. Moreover, the institutionalization of the system and the entrenchment of its many stakeholders make effecting change particularly difficult. In this article, the authors begin with an assessment of the drawbacks of the Canadian health care system in the federal-provincial context and its resulting gaps in governance (steering), in management (rowing), and in overall accountability (apart from that offered …
