Morreim","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2716751","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2716751","url":null,"abstract":"The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (“EMTALA”) requires every Medicare-contracting hospital with an emergency department (“ED”) to screen and stabilize anyone with an emergency condition, regardless of ability to pay. Enacted in 1986, EMTALA vastly expanded Medicare’s initial focus on elderly and disabled beneficiaries and imposed enormous financial liabilities. Neither the Supreme Court nor any Circuits have addressed EMTALA’s constitutionality.This Article proposes that EMTALA violates the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause. First, it imposes a host of individual takings as the government forces one private party — the hospital — to transfer personal property to another private party — the patient. Here, violations depend on whether the hospital is justly compensated.Second, EMTALA as a whole is an “unconstitutional condition” imposed on hospitals’ participation in Medicare. Although the government can properly attach “strings” to ensure public funds are spent as Congress intended, the government cannot with impunity require persons to waive fundamental constitutional rights as a condition for receiving a government benefit. This Article shows that, as EMTALA forces hospitals to abdicate their Fifth Amendment right against uncompensated takings, it exceeds the Supreme Court’s boundaries on federal spending.In the final analysis, EMTALA’s mandate that hospitals care for emergency patients should remain, but hospitals must be justly compensated.","PeriodicalId":372754,"journal":{"name":"HEN: Law & Regulation (Topic)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132557152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Partial Valuation in Cost-Benefit Analysis","authors":"A. Rowell","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2062987","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2062987","url":null,"abstract":"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is considering promulgating a rule to increase rearview visibility in vehicles—a rule intended to reduce backover crashes, which occur when a vehicle moving in reverse strikes a pedestrian or a cyclist, and which kill hundreds and injure thousands of people a year. In performing a cost-benefit analysis of the proposed rule, NHTSA has refused to monetize many of the most emotional impacts of the rule, including the fact that many of the victims of backover crashes are small children. Without including these impacts, the monetized costs of the rule far exceed the monetized benefits. This Article argues that treating these effects of the rearview rule as nonmonetizable assumes that people are willing to pay no money to secure those effects, and that it is therefore likely to lead to significant undervaluation of the amount of money people are actually willing to pay for the regulation. Regulators are often averse to attempting to monetize the nonmonetary effects of regulations, particularly when those effects are deeply emotional, as they are whenever regulation touches upon the death of small children. Insofar as this hesitation to monetize stems from concern about the incommensurability of money and other goods, it should cease immediately. Incommensurability does not necessarily preclude partial valuation, or the partial expression of a good’s value in terms of another good. Even something as horrific and emotionally laden as the death of a child can therefore be partially valued in monetary terms—so long as people are willing to pay money to prevent the event from occurring. Emotional goods like these are difficult to think about, and even more difficult to monetize, but refusing to monetize them at all is not a reasonable solution.","PeriodicalId":372754,"journal":{"name":"HEN: Law & Regulation (Topic)","volume":"228 S732","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113972336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, attempts to reduce insurance company profits could affect the quality of care that they provide to their enrollees. This study investigates whether there is a relationship between the profitability of an HMO and the quality of care that its enrollees receive. The sample is comprised of health maintenance organizations in Texas from 2000 to 2008. Quality of care is proxied by HEDIS compliance rates for selected child and female health measures, while profits are measured both on a dollar and percentage basis. Annual data are used that are disaggregated by market area. The results suggest that there is a statistically significant relationship between profits and some measures of quality. Specifically, the child health measures used here are positively related to profits, in that increases (decreases) in profits are associated with increases (decreases) in quality. By contrast, there is not a statistically significant relationship between the available female health measures and profits. Further, for the child health measures, instrumental variable models that attempt to address to the potential endogeneity of quality and profits are consistent with the possibility that changes in profits have a causal effect on quality of care.","PeriodicalId":372754,"journal":{"name":"HEN: Law & Regulation (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127746283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
