This is such an important tool! Every state has this option, it is free, and there is a super fast emergency review, too.

I am so sorry for your loss. That was a lovely post about your kitty.

Big news in the health law space! Healthcare is officially one word in all circumstances and uses according to AP. Pretty sure we have all spent time figuring our own rules out for this.

They are kind of mad but also excited by the absurd scope of the question.

It is the last substantive day of my bioethics class and we just finished reading about social justice theory. I have just sent them into their groups to come up with the proper goals of a health care financing system and how we should pay for it. They report back in twenty minutes.

That’s my bioethics class this semester and it has been so much fun. One book, and after covering some basics early on, deep group work on specific issues then coming together to try and solve the problems.

For my torts students with a big essay question, I tell them to write the names of every possible party and make sure they consider each one as a possible plaintiff or defendant against every other one. Plus lots of the advice already given here!

This is so good! I just read the abstract to my bioethics class during our class on moral status and personhood.

Please count me in, if anyone wants a guest lecture on health care financing or insurance or something. I can do public health law or torts, too.

I recently gave a lecture in China to law students there on the basics of United States healthcare financing from a legal perspective and I think it might be helpful to people here who aren’t in the field. Here is the YouTube link, I think it is pretty easy to follow and straightforward.

LHSS: Understanding the US Healthcare Financing System
Title: LHSS: Understanding the US Healthcare Financing System Speaker:Prof. Jacqueline Fox, University of South Carolina Joseph Rice School of Law Moderator:Norman P. Ho, Peking University School of Transnational Law Date and Time: December 9, 2025 Lecture Summary: The United States has a unique, and uniquely chaotic, system for paying for health care. Many different entities pay for care, including the federal government, private citizens, and employers. There is rationing, both based on need and who has money. This presentation will explain how this financing and rationing system is structured. At the end there will be a brief description of the changes coming next year under a law passed by the Trump administration.

I love this way of describing a specific type of behavior. May I borrow it for my students? Not everyone wants to be loud, and it doesn’t suit every person’s best skill set, either.

Doesn’t really answer your question as to why it isn’t better, though. Probably a combination of price setting patterns, general lack of regard for insured people, suspicion of motives, stuff like that. The ACA open season was shortened to discourage people from enrolling, I think.

Jacqueline Fox @jacquelinefox.bsky.social · 24/09/2025
If I remember correctly, annual open enrollment for employer plans was required for preferential tax treatment purposes. You had to give all relevant employees a chance to know what their options were and time to make choices. There are labor regs, tax regs, maybe HIPAA regs all premised on it.

Have any of my health law friends seen this weird decision out of North Carolina about not protecting trans kids’ medical records from discovery? As reported, it’s bizarre and worrisome, I was wondering if anyone might know what is actually going on with it. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...

Adding, I had to go to NYC for a procedure because no one could do it in Columbia SC. And had to wait months.

Pretty much everyone who has to access healthcare has to wait, if they are lucky enough to either have a doctor or find a qualified provider who is taking new patients. I like the data in this set because it is pretty straightforward. assets.ctfassets.net/4f3rgqwzdznj...

That is an awesome article, but I thought I saw someone refer to claims denials as a form of medical violence,that’s the framing that’s blowing my mind right now, so clean and comprehensive. I might have actually made the leap myself, just wanted to be careful I wasn’t short changing someone else.

Jacqueline Fox @jacquelinefox.bsky.social · 06/12/2024
There’s a framing I’ve seen about too that I think is brilliant, wish I knew who did the original work, where claims denials, etc. are acknowledged as a form of medical violence.

I’m not surprised by the numbers, but once people hear more about private equity, they get really mad. I think it goes to the top of blame for people who know about it.
