  • Summary

    Health care today is the most regulated industry in America. Statutes and regulations govern everything from licensing and insurance to privacy and emergency care. In pursuit of the iron triangle of improved access, better quality, and lower cost, health law scholars have long focused on “public law,” or law that involves governmental action, including action by administrative agencies at both the state and federal levels.

  • Health Law as Private Law delves into the complex relationship between private law and health care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of public ordering and state-created rules was evident, yet this work reveals the equally important role of private agreements in shaping health care policy. The volume's five sections – theory and structure, reproductive care, costs and financing, innovation and institutions, contracts and torts – include innovative conceptualizations and approaches to applying private law to health law. Chapters authored by leading experts explore how private law can be utilized to address significant health care and public health problems, and to achieve much-needed health care reform. Comprehensive and timely, Health Law as Private Law opens new pathways that will influence future policy, jurisprudence, and regulation. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
