Health Law and Policy
Professor Bloche J.D. Course 206 (cross-listed) | 4 credit hours Health law is a vast and expanding field. No single course can survey it all. This course focuses on the organization, financing, and provision of medical care, with an eye toward issues not yet resolved by courts, legislators, regulators, and American society. It also considers some related ethical questions. Topics and themes include the economics of health insurance and managed care, regulatory responses to the market's perceived failures, medical tort law, access to care, consumer choice and patient autonomy, defining and assessing quality, health care providers' conflicts of interest, privacy and confidentiality, and socio-economic and racial disparities in health and medical care.
