Join us for the Jay Healey Teaching Session on this first afternoon of #HLP25 (6/4, 4:15 pm). This year’s theme, Survival with Integrity, reflects the extraordinary legal and social changes health law teachers are experiencing. You won’t want to miss this beloved & impactful opening day tradition!

What a great panel on Gender & Sex at #HLP25 You know it will be good when you all color coordinate!

It's Day 2 of the Health Law Professors Conference! We have had a tremendous welcome from @akesselheim.bsky.social, and @bostonu.bsky.social's Angela Onwuachi-Willig and Nicole Huberfeld. Happening right now: "Key Updates for a Tumultuous Time." #HLP25 #HLPC25 #HLP48

This is a wonderful honor! I'm lucky to have had so much encouragement & support along the way from *incredible* scholars, staff & students in the health law community. And it caps off a fantastic 1st year on the TT at @loyolachicago.bsky.social School of Law & the incomparable Beazley Institute!

With so much in flux and so much on the line, this type of exchange is more important than ever. And a good reminder that while the road is bumpy, we are traveling it in good company. #ASLME #HLP2025

Jimmy Carter Appreciation 🧵:

As we mourn Carter's death, there will be lots of discussion of his presidency and his post-presidential exploits, including his work with @habitatforhumanity.bsky.social and the @cartercenter.bsky.social.

But I want to talk about Carter and the federal judiciary....

Time flew by so we didn’t get a chance to discuss the administrative burdens of appealing, but this is the link to my discussion with Michel Martin on NPR Morning Edition this morning on the scope of insurance coverage denials and how AI is exacerbating this problem. www.npr.org/2024/12/11/n...

I talked with @citizencohn.bsky.social for this piece on the UnitedHealthcare events and Americans’ anger toward private health insurers, in light of the findings from my research on coverage denials and administrative burden. www.huffpost.com/entry/insura...

Joe Lieberman is why we don’t have Medicare at 55.

Like the losers who ask, “If I were the last man on Earth, then could I go out with you?”, the doctors in FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine are asking, “If I were the last doctor on Earth, then could I force you to give birth?”

Dozens of major companies, including General Motors, commit to manufacturing ventilators, distributing supplies and creating a contact tracing system - they only need the administration to invoke the Defense Production Act. Kushner refuses. (2/2)
Here is a horrifying account of that meeting:

Friday March 20: the shortage of protective gear for front line medical workers is now front page news (see nyt) Trump says it's not his problem. “The Federal government is not supposed to be out there buying vast amounts of items and then shipping. You know, we’re not a shipping clerk.”
