Description

A student-friendly casebook for the new generation of health lawyers in an evolving legal landscape, The Law of American Health Care emphasizes lightly, carefully edited primary source excerpts, plain-language exposition, focused comprehension questions, and problems for concept application. It introduces key themes and uses them as a conceptual anchor so when the law inevitably changes, students have tools to nimbly move forward. These themes include: federalism; individual rights; fiduciary relationships; the administrative state; markets and regulation; and equity and distribution. The book engages topics in-depth, to give students a comprehensive understanding of the most important features of health care law and hands-on experience working through cutting-edge issues.

New to the 3rd Edition:

  • Current debates about government power among public health officials, legislatures, judges, and other state actors, including issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Public insurance materials reorganized so students can better absorb Medicare/Medicaid and apply lessons of the pandemic and litigation over various issues
  • Solidification of ACA reforms, including surprise billing legislation and changes in the exchange subsidies that attempted to fill the Medicaid coverage gap
  • Consolidated health care business organization materials
  • New/revised materials and new cases in tax exempt entities and health care fraud/abuse, state action doctrine, and discrimination in healthcare/health insurance (including history of attempts to address health care discrimination, 1964 Civil Rights Act Title VI, ADA, HIPAA portability, ACA guaranteed issue, renewal, community rating, and Section 1557)
  • Government enforcement’s more aggressive approach to labor issues
  • Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health and ensuing state law chaos and federal/state conflicts
  • Increased use of digital health care tools and telehealth driven by the pandemic
  • Right-to-try movement and other features of biomedical research that became more relevant during the pandemic
