FOR TWO decades, Passaic's tallest building has also been its emptiest. The Bank Tower at 663 Main Ave., an 11-story Art Deco structure that dominates the city's modest downtown, once housed law firms and medical offices. But as their numbers dwindled, its owner opted to shutter the asbestos-ridden building rather than invest in sorely needed upgrades.
It soon became an expensive eyesore, and the city stepped in. Passaic took a big risk on the tower, spending $4.4 million in Urban Enterprise Zone funds to acquire it through eminent domain and make long-overdue renovations, in the hopes of attracting a buyer.

In this Article I examine “medical tourism”—the travel of patients who are residents of one country to another country for medical treatment—which is fast becoming a multi-billion dollar industry. To date, the primary U.S. medical tourists appear to have been uninsured or underinsured Americans seeking substantial cost savings by traveling to less developed countries for care. More recently, state governments, self-insured firms, Fortune 500 companies, and domestic insurers have begun attempts to get their insured populations to use medical tourism as well by requiring it or giving incentives for its use (what I call “insurer-prompted medical tourism”).

It is perhaps rare for the American Bar Association and the American Medical Association to agree -- but both groups say that Federal Trade Commission regulations to prevent identity theft should not apply to them.
On Aug. 1, creditors will be required to implement specific policies guarding against identity theft. In addition to traditional creditors, the rule covers a broad range of entities that bill clients after services have been provided -- including law firms and medical offices.
