Misdiagnosis and mistreatment, due to factors such as a cultural misunderstanding or lack of communication, can and has resulted in lawsuits. An examination of current case law reveals that numerous lawsuits can be directly attributed to culturally incompetent health care professionals. The process of becoming culturally competent is not only the key to quality care for those who practice in the field of health care, but also critical for those who practice in the field of health law. Borrowing from the field of health care, this article will propose a model of cultural competence for the field of health law.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), focusing on constitutional law, today urged the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a Florida case challenging ObamaCare on behalf of more than 100 members of Congress and tens of thousands of Americans. In an amicus brief filed today, the ACLJ urged the high court to hear the case and declare the entire health care law unconstitutional. From the very start, this issue was destined for the Supreme Court," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. "The time has come for the high court to engage ObamaCare and not only strike down the individual mandate, which forces Americans to purchase health insurance, but the entire health care law as well. The individual mandate is inextricably linked to...
HARRISBURG, Pa., March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Tom Corbett today testified before a congressional subcommittee field hearing in Harrisburg on the impact of the federal health care law enacted one year ago. His testimony, as prepared for delivery before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce's Subcommittee on Health, follows:
WASHINGTON - A conservative-leaning appeals court panel on Tuesday upheld the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's health care law, as the Supreme Court prepares to consider this week whether to resolve conflicting rulings over the law's requirement that all Americans buy health care insurance. A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a split opinion upholding the lower court's ruling that found Congress did not overstep its authority in requiring people to have insurance or pay a penalty on their taxes, beginning in 2014. The requirement is the most controversial requirement of Obama's signature domestic legislative achievement and the focus of conflicting opinions from judges across the country. The Supreme Court could decide as early as Thursd...
Alaska governor: Enacting law might violate oath JUNEAU, Alaska - - Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell is asking his attorney general to advise him on whether implementing the federal health care overhaul would put Parnell in violation of his oath of office. A federal judge in Florida this week struck down the law as unconstitutional in a case joined by 26 states, including Alaska. A major point of contention is a provision requiring citizens to buy health insurance. Parnell says he took an oath to support and defend the constitutions of the United States and Alaska. While the Republican governor concedes the issue is expected to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, he wants the attorney general to advise him on what the duty is after the Florida ruling. Illinois task force: Crack down on insu...
WASHINGTON - The nation's Republican governors are raising a new complaint against the 2010 national health overhaul: They say it would drive up their Medicaid costs dramatically at a time they're already slashing their budgets to cope with debt. There's no question that the health-care law will force states to expand their Medicaid services, but how that ultimately will affect states' costs is a matter of considerable dispute.
Plenty changed in the year since President Obama signed the most sweeping piece of health care legislation since Congress created Medicare in 1965. The Pennsylvania attorney general who said the law is unconstitutional is the governor oveseeing its implementation. The fate of the bill moved from Congress into court chambers. Some of its least controversial provisions -- allowing children to remain on parents' insurance longer and forcing insurers to cover people with pre-existing conditions -- have taken effect.
Maine and five more states joined a lawsuit in Florida against President Barack Obama's health care overhaul on Tuesday, meaning more than half of the country is challenging the law. Maine Attorney General William Schneider has asked the state of Florida to petition the federal court in that state to allow Maine and five other states to join the multistate lawsuit challenging some provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
Facing criticism from the nation's governors, President Obama on Monday said he's willing to give states much more leeway to opt out of key planks of last year's health care law - as long as they still meet his overall benchmarks of covering more people and controlling costs. Speaking to a gathering of governors at the White House, Mr. Obama endorsed a bipartisan plan in Congress that would grant states "innovation waivers" to bypass parts of the law beginning in 2014 - three years earlier than the law now permits and timed to the introduction of the health care "exchanges" that are a central element of the overhaul plan.
