Health Care: Why Jurisdiction Matters, Kevin C. Walsh
Scholarly Articles
Congress’s enactment of comprehensive healthcare reform legislation last year was the culmination of one round of an intense debate that continues today. The second round began the same day that the first round ended, when President Obama signed the legislation. In this second round, the locus of debate has shifted from Congress to the courts, which are processing a slew of lawsuits filed immediately after enactment.
One of the most prominent is Virginia v. Sebelius. The lawsuit presents on its face a prominent and critically important question of federalism: Did Congress exceed the limits of its enumerated legislative powers by …
The Elusive Ideal Of Market Competition In U.S. Health Care,
2011
Southern Methodist University, Dedman School of Law
The Elusive Ideal Of Market Competition In U.S. Health Care, Nathan Cortez
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
This chapter, in the book Health Care and EU Law (TMC Asser Press 2011), explores how market competition has both driven and (somewhat ironically) undermined U.S. health reform efforts over the past few decades. More than its peers, the U.S. health care system looks to market-inspired theories and policy instruments, even in public programs like Medicare. But decades of promoting market ideals has not given Americans the health care system we desire. Still, the market question remains the basic dividing line in U.S. health policy.
This chapter explores how the U.S. health care system remains an international outlier, exploring American …
Reverse Settlements As Patent Invalidity Signals,

University of Baltimore School of Law
Reverse Settlements As Patent Invalidity Signals, Gregory Dolin
All Faculty Scholarship
Over the last decade a new type of settlements, commonly referred to as “reversed payment settlements” or simply “reverse settlements,” emerged in litigation over patents covering pharmaceutical products. What differentiates these new settlements from their traditional counterparts is that whereas traditionally, the alleged trespasser on someone else's rights pays the rights-holder to settle the litigation, in these new settlements it is the rights holder that pays the alleged trespasser. These settlements are a direct consequence of the various incentives provided by the Hatch-Waxman Act - an Act designed to increase competition between brand name and generic manufactures of pharmaceutical products. …

The Case Against Preemption: Vaccines & Uncertainty, Mary J. Davis
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This article begins with a brief recap of the state of current preemption doctrine and how it governs the interaction of federal regulation of product manufacturers and state tort actions related to the actions of those manufacturers. Second, the article provides observations on how that doctrine might apply to vaccine injury litigation. Bruesewitz v. Wyeth, Inc. involves the preemptive scope of the Vaccine Act and the unique compensation system Congress created to respond to vaccine injuries. Bruesewitz was decided on February 22, 2011, and held that design defect claims are expressly preempted by the Vaccine Act. This article endeavors …

The Future Of Employment-Based Health Insurance After The Patient Protection And Affordable Case Act, Kathryn L. Moore
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In the United States, unlike in all other advanced industrial states, health care is financed principally through employment-based health insurance. In 2009, more than 156 million individuals under the age of sixty-five, or 59% of that population, were covered by employment- based health insurance.
On March 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Described as seminal as the enactment of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), PPACA fundamentally reforms the American health care system. PPACA, however, does not eliminate the system’s reliance on employment- based health insurance. Instead, it builds on, and arguably …

Depression Care Management: Can Employers Purchase Improved Outcomes?, Kathryn Rost, Donna Marshall, Benjamin Shearer, Allen J. Dietrich
Mental Health Law & Policy Faculty Publications
Fourteen vendors are currently selling depression care management products to US employers after randomized trials demonstrate improved work outcomes. The research team interviewed 10 (71.4%) of these vendors to compare their products to four key components of interventions demonstrated to improve work outcomes. Five of 10 depression products incorporate all four key components, three of which are sold by health maintenance organizations (HMOs); however, HMOs did not deliver these components at the recommended intensity and/or duration. Only one product delivered by a disease management company delivered all four components of care at the recommended intensity and duration. This “voltage drop,” …

Dying For Dollars: Health Equity In The Age Of Reform, Max D. Siegel
Maryland Law Review
On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA") into law. Almost instantly, fourteen state attorneys general joined together to file suit to challenge ACA in federal courts in Virginia and Florida. These states took action amid widespread political rhetoric that condemned Congress for shattering its constitutional limits by invading citizens' private decisions to purchase health insurance. Few political trends are as divisive as the changing role of government in private health care coverage decisions. Yet, the American debate continues to be distracted by marketplace rhetoric. This Comment argues that the American preoccupation …

Health information technology (HIT) is becoming increasingly prevalent in medical offices and facilities. Like President George W. Bush before him, President Obama announced a plan to computerize all Americans’ medical records by 214. Computerization is certain to transform American health care, but to ensure that its benefits outweigh its risks, the federal government must provide appropriate oversight.
President Obama’s stimulus legislation, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 29 (ARRA), dedicated $27 billion to the promotion of health information technology. It provides payments of up to $44, per clinician under the Medicare incentive program and $63,75 per clinician under the …
