Summary:

For more than two decades, Health Law: Cases, Materials and Problems
has defined the field of health law, providing a balanced overview of
law as it affects patients, professionals, institutions, and entities
that deliver and finance U.S. health care. Health Law comprehensively
treats topics concerns such as the oversight of quality (including
the latest developments in patient safety), cost control (including
consumer-directed health care), guarantees of adequate access to
services, exempt-organization tax issues, transactions and
relationships among health care professionals and providers, the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and malpractice
litigation. Written without a policy bias to fairly reflect all
viewpoints, the book considers legal and ethical issues involving
death, human reproduction, medical treatment decision making, and
medical research. It also explores the government's efforts to
control costs and expand access through Medicare and Medicaid and
examines government attempts to police anticompetitive activities,
fraud, and abuse. Using carefully edited primary materials and
effective classroom-tested problems, the book exposes students to the
core issues in health law.
