A measure that caps damages for a broad array of medical and other health-related injury cases and repeals a portion of the federal health care law passed the House on Thursday on a vote divided largely along party lines. The measure, H.R. 5, originally dubbed the HEALTH (Help Efficient, Accessible, Low Cost, Timely Health) Act but renamed the PATH (Protecting Access to Healthcare) Act, passed on a 223 to 181 vote.

If the complex legal issues arising from the constitutional challenge to the federal health care law weren't enough, lawyers are bracing for the practical impact the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the case will have on their clients. During the week of March 26 the justices are scheduled to hear an extraordinary five-and-a-half hours of oral arguments in cases challenging the federal health care law and its related mandates. The lengthy debate is warranted, given the plethora of highly technical issues the Court must tackle.

LewisGale Medical Center is continuing its fight to open a neonatal intensive care unit to care for its tiniest patients. In an appeal filed in Salem Circuit Court, the hospital has asked the court to throw out the September decision by Virginia Health Commissioner Karen Remley denying LewisGale's request for an eight- bassinet NICU. The petition also asks that the court tell Remley to issue a new decision on the NICU that is consistent with her prior decisions in similar cases and better follows the law governing the state's regulation of new health care services.

The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that an individual convicted under a federal statute implementing an international treaty has standing to challenge the law on Tenth Amendment grounds could have a ripple effect in a host of future cases, from challenges to the federal health care law to drug litigation. It is rare that such a short case, and a unanimous case at that, can have an effect on such a broad range of law," said Ilya Shapiro, a senior fellow in constitutional studies at the Cato Institute and co-author of the group's amicus brief in Bond v.

LITTLE ROCK - The Arkansas Senate voted Thursday to prohibit insurers in new markets set up under the federal health care law from offering coverage for abortions except in cases where the mother's life is at stake - a move that opponents say will make it virtually impossible for women to get abortion coverage. The Senate voted 27-8 to approve strict limits on when abortion would be covered in the new insurance markets that will be set up starting in 2014 under the federal health care overhaul. The legislation would prohibit abortion coverage by insurers in those markets even in cases of rape and incest.

As lawmakers prepare to take up the controversial tort reform legislation later this week, the measure is creating a strange coalition of opponents seeking to stop the bill in its tracks. As we've reported in Lawyers USA, the trial lawyers' group the American Association for Justice has actively opposed H.R. 5, the Help Efficient, Accessible, Low Cost, Timely Health Care (HEALTH) Act. The bill, which would cap non-economic damages in medical negligence cases at $250,000 and repeal part of the federal health care law aimed at cutting Medicare costs, is set for a House vote later this week.

As House lawmakers prepare this week to vote on a bill that would cap non-economic damages in medical negligence cases at $250,000 and repeal part of the federal health care law, members of the nation's largest trial lawyer lobby group stepped up their efforts to thwart the measure. The officials from the American Association of Justice have been contacting lawmakers and urging members to search their caseloads for clients who can help demonstrate how the Help Efficient, Accessible, Low Cost, Timely Health Care (HEALTH) Act, H.R. 5., would harm victims of medical malpractice and their families.
