Insurance and the regulation of medical care

Article Abstract:

The third annual Regulation conference tackled such issues as the interaction of insurance and the regulation of medical care. The consequences of incomplete health insurance coverage was discussed by panelists. The effects of broader health insurance coverage on the relative prices and regulation of medical care was another topic for discussion. One valuable lesson learned from the conference was that the rapid increase in both the relative price and real expenditures for medical care can only be controlled by reducing the growth of demand for and increasing the supply of medical care.

An open letter to the President-elect

Article Abstract:

President-elect Clinton should address four key issues regarding federal regulations in order to spur economic growth. He must first designate a responsible official to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and whose primary duty is to effectively review federal regulations. The Basle standards on bank capital should also be reviewed. The Davis-Bacon Act should also be repealed in order to lower the cost of construction contracts financed with federal money. Lastly, careful review of the administration's health care reform proposals is also needed.

A line in the sand?

Article Abstract:

The Supreme Court decision in the case of Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council sets a new categorical standard and an exception to the government's exercise of the power of eminent domain and police power regarding laws affecting regulatory takings of private property. The payment of just compensation is required whenever a new regulation denies all economically beneficial or productive uses of land. Compensation may not be awarded if the new regulation is consistent with established principles of insurance and property laws.
