Women And Children Last — The Predictable Effects Of Proposed Federal Funding Cuts, George J. Annas, Wendy K. Mariner 2011 Boston University School of Law

Women And Children Last — The Predictable Effects Of Proposed Federal Funding Cuts, George J. Annas, Wendy K. Mariner

Faculty Scholarship

"Women and children last” might as well be the refrain of the current U.S. Congress's new health care budget cutters. We have seen similar efforts before. In the mid-1990s, managed care organizations tried to save money by limiting hospitalization benefits for new mothers and their infants to 24 hours after a vaginal delivery and 48 hours after a cesarean section. As with current Congressional proposals, financial savings were seen as more important than the health of women and children. Because only women get pregnant and give birth, restricting access to reproductive health care is discriminatory on its face and undermines …


Sex And Hiv Disclosure, Aziza Ahmed, Beri Hull 2011 Boston University School of Law

Sex And Hiv Disclosure, Aziza Ahmed, Beri Hull

Faculty Scholarship

What do you consent to when you have sex with someone? What if the person is a new sexual partner from a night at a bar? What if the person is your spouse or long-term partner? In these two scenarios, people might understand both HIV risk and HIV disclosure differently. Close reflection demonstrates that a purportedly clear set of criminal laws rarely reflects the complexity of sexual interaction.

This article explores how the dynamics of HIV disclosure prior to sex contribute to an ongoing dialogue about disclosure and consent: Does a person have a right to know his or her …

The Hospitalist: Better Value In Inpatient Care?, Lisa Sprague 2011 George Washington University

The Hospitalist: Better Value In Inpatient Care?, Lisa Sprague

National Health Policy Forum

From perhaps a few hundred practitioners in 1996 to an estimated 30,000 today, the discipline called hospital medicine has shown remarkably rapid growth. It represents a fundamental separation of the inpatient and outpatient components of internal and family medicine. The split has implications for the quality and efficiency of care delivery, the outlook for the physician workforce, and the development of new models such as accountable care organizations (ACOs).


Medicare's Bundling Pilot: Including Post-Acute Care Services, Laura A. Dummit 2011 George Washington University

Medicare's Bundling Pilot: Including Post-Acute Care Services, Laura A. Dummit

National Health Policy Forum

Fee-for-service Medicare, in which a separate payment is made for each service, rewards health care providers for delivering more services, but not necessarily coordinating those services over time or across settings. To help address these concerns, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 requires Medicare to experiment with making a bundled payment for a hospitalization plus post-acute care, that is, the recuperative or rehabilitative care following a hospital discharge. This bundled payment approach is intended to promote more efficient care across the acute/post-acute episode because the entity that receives the payment has financial incentives to keep episode costs …

Sherley V. Sebelius: Stem Cells And The Uneasy Interplay Between The Federal Bench And The Lab Bench, Ryan P. O'Quinn 2011 Duke Law

Sherley V. Sebelius: Stem Cells And The Uneasy Interplay Between The Federal Bench And The Lab Bench, Ryan P. O'Quinn

Duke Law & Technology Review

After Barack Obama's election to the presidency, he promised that one of his top priorities in office would be to relieve the restrictions initiated by President George W. Bush on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. President Obama followed through on his promise, but the celebrations in the nation's research labs were short-lived. Anti-abortion advocates and other scientists working in the field that would allegedly be out-competed in the federal funding arena brought a legal challenge to the new government position. The struggle culminated in August 2010 with a federal district court issuing a preliminary injunction to halt the …

Free Rider – A Justification For Mandatory Medical Insurance Under Health Care Reform?, Douglas A. Kahn, Jeffrey H. Kahn 2011 University of Michigan Law School

Free Rider – A Justification For Mandatory Medical Insurance Under Health Care Reform?, Douglas A. Kahn, Jeffrey H. Kahn

Law & Economics Working Papers

Section 1501 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act added section 5000A to the Internal Revenue Code to require most individuals in the United States to purchase a minimum level of medical insurance. This requirement, which is enforced by a penalty imposed on those who fail to comply, is sometimes referred to as the “individual mandate.” A frequently stated defense of the individual mandate is that there are a vast number of persons who do not purchase medical insurance and then obtain free medical care when the need arises, and the individual mandate will require those persons (often referred …
