An Economic Assessment Of Patent Settlements In The Pharmaceutical Industry,
2010
Compass Lexecon
An Economic Assessment Of Patent Settlements In The Pharmaceutical Industry, Bret Dickey, Jonathan Orszag, Laura Tyson
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
This article demonstrates that in recent years, patent settlements between branded and generic manufacturers involving "reverse payments" from branded manufacturers to generic manufacturers have received close antitrust scrutiny, driven by concerns that such settlements harm consumers by delaying the entry of lower-priced generic drugs. The authors note that such settlements will be a focus of the Obama Administration's antitrust enforcement policy, yet there is a growing consensus among the courts that such settlements are anticompetitive only under narrow sets of circumstances. In this article, the authors present an analytical framework for evaluating the competitive effects of patent settlements, including those …

Post-Mortem Pregnancy: A Proposed Methodology For The Resolution Of Conflicts Over Whether A Brain Dead Pregnant Woman Should Be Maintained On Life-Sustaining Treatment,
2010
University of Virginia School of Law
Post-Mortem Pregnancy: A Proposed Methodology For The Resolution Of Conflicts Over Whether A Brain Dead Pregnant Woman Should Be Maintained On Life-Sustaining Treatment, Alexis Gregorian
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
In this article, the author examines conflicts over whether to maintain a brain dead pregnant woman on life-sustaining treatment. The author cautions that on the rare occasions when courts are confronted with such a conflict, they should employ a consistent methodology for resolution of the conflict and attempt to honor the wishes of the post-mortem mother and her family. The author draws on relevant areas of law to demonstrate the existence of a legal fiction that protects the interests of post-mortem pregnant women in refusing medical treatment. This article then proceeds to propose a methodology that enables courts to account …
Access To Medicine In An Era Of Fractal Inequality,
2010
Seton Hall Law School
Access To Medicine In An Era Of Fractal Inequality, Frank Pasquale
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
This article evaluates the legitimacy and degree of inevitability of unequal access to medicine. The author introduces 'fractal inequality' to the access issue by using the term to describe skewed patterns in distributions of income and wealth that lead to reallocative effects of higher spending on health care by the wealthiest that can cascade down the distributive ladder. 'Fractal inequality' is transposed to the U.S. health care sector to explain the trend away from medical need toward ability to pay. The author cautions U.S. policymakers to consider international access problems instead of exacerbating those issues when domestic access to care …

Pharmaceutical Pricing: A Review Of Proposals To Improve Access And Affordability Of Prescription Drugs, Paula Tironi
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
This article discusses how pharmaceutical innovation achieves remarkable improvements in human health but a significant portion of the U.S. population cannot afford prescription drugs. The author examines ways that patent protection, generics, supply chain complexity, and the cost of innovation and promotion affect access and affordability. The author then looks at the influences of marketing strategies and industry trends such as the patent cliff and pipeline for new drugs, innovations in biotechnology and genomics, comparative effectiveness analysis, and payor and employer strategies on drug prices. An analysis of reform proposals in the context of industry trends suggests that promoting generic …

A Call For Minds: The Unknown Extent Of Societal Influence On The Legal Rights Of Involuntarily And Voluntarily Committed Mental Health Patients, Teresa Cannistraro
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
This article begins and ends with a call for more empirical research to understand the connection between societal views of mental illness and the legal system. The author asserts that changing social perceptions of mental illness certainly affect legal outcomes and commitment levels, but the degree remains unknown. This article explores the above two topics through the framework of the Circuit Court 'split' regarding the Constitutional rights of persons committed to state mental health institutions. A main facet of the 'split' is centered on the Circuits' disagreement about whether or not all mentally ill patients committed to institutions deserve the …
Government-Sponsored Reinsurance,

Government-Sponsored Reinsurance, Mark A. Hall
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
Many measures to reform health insurance markets include various types of government-sponsored reinsurance. This article explains the purposes and types of private and public reinsurance, and reviews available evidence about their performance. The author concludes that government-sponsored reinsurance inherently cannot reduce total costs, but it can shift costs from the private to the public sector. Also, reinsurance can help transition to a new government program or market structure that creates uncertain risks. Whether reinsurance is the best way to accomplish these goals depends greatly on the details.

Rationing Health Care: It's A Matter Of The Health Care System's Structure,
2010
Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis
Rationing Health Care: It's A Matter Of The Health Care System's Structure, David Orentlicher
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
The article examines two primary policy proposals for how the U.S. should allocate its limited health care dollars: a centralized model in which a commission establishes rationing guidelines, and a decentralized model in which rationing decisions are made by health care providers on a case by case basis. The author finds significant advantages with each position, leading the author to assert that a combination of each is key to an effective rationing policy: a centralized control of structure coupled with decentralized physician-level decision making. While mindful that formal rationing guidelines alone are unfeasible to effectuate cost-effective care, the author introduces …
