Comment on When Primary Care Wait Times Become a Legal Problem by Susan Stefan

Susan Stefan — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 22:22:30 +0000

I have for many years thought that having to wait five or six months for a PCP appointment might be a breach of contract issue. The contract between me and my insurance company is that I pay premiums in exchange for access to health care. At some point, waiting for more than half the period of the premium (they are usually on an annual basis) to access that health care becomes a breach of the contract to provide me with access to health care. I have often wished someone would do a class action on that basis.

Comment on Preventive Care Utilization and Health Insurance Literacy by VBA

This study highlights a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of preventive healthcare: the impact of insurance costs on screening uptake. The finding that free care disclosure significantly boosts screening rates is empowering, but the systemic complexity of insurance limitations remains a barrier. Essential policy changes are needed to truly translate this knowledge into lives saved.

Comment on Emergency Abortion Laws: Vague by Design, Lethal in Practice by John Doe

John Doe — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 23:56:47 +0000

I’m pretty firmly in the “it’s the doctors’ fault,” and this article didn’t persuade me otherwise. Take Alabama: it requires that a physician determine the abortion is necessary and that a second sign off on it. That’s it. The article says AL has an objective test, but the only test is whether two physicians declare it necessary, regardless of whether it is.

Comment on Strict Liability for Unreasonable Harm: Aggregating Liability to Restore Compensation and Deterrence to Medical Malpractice Litigation by Omer Pelled

Thank you, Professor Coleman, for your thoughtful and generous review. You clearly capture the essential logic of Strict Liability for Unreasonable Harm (SLUH) and its potential to restore balance in medical malpractice litigation.

One additional point I would like to emphasize relates to SLUH’s broader theoretical implications. While you rightly note SLUH’s similarity to proportional approaches like loss-of-chance and market-share liability, SLUH uniquely leverages aggregate outcomes to determine both breach and causation simultaneously. This approach moves beyond merely relaxing the causation requirement—it reshapes the negligence inquiry itself into a forward-looking evaluation.

I also appreciate your recognition of SLUH’s potential application beyond medical malpractice. In particular, the suitability of SLUH to emerging technologies, such as AI-powered devices, may offer an effective legal response precisely when traditional case-by-case negligence proves inadequate. I am currently exploring other applications of constitutional torts and social platform liability.

I am grateful for your engaging review and look forward to ongoing discussions on these exciting possibilities.

Comment on Living with Alzheimer’s: A Fate Worse than Death? by Patricia Rudolph

Patricia Rudolph — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 23:24:04 +0000

My husband first experienced confusion and loss of memory in March of 2000 while undergoing rehab for alcoholism. Being home seemed to help him until 2006 when he gradually began experiencing Alzheimer’s symptoms. He had four to five hours a day where he wants to get a “greyhound” to “go home.” Also, he thinks I am his sister and believes he has rented a car (he hasn’t driven in five to 10 years). His personal hygiene was in the tank — it was necessary for him to change two to three times a day. Without long-term insurance for his care, it was becoming stressful to care from him. this year our family doctor introduced and started him on UineHealth Centre Neuro X Program, 6 months into treatment he improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of Alzheimer’s, hallucination, forgetfulness, and other he’s strong again and able to go about daily activities. visit their official website, www. Uinehealth centre. co m

Comment on The Overlooked Harms of Inaccurate and Biased Medical Records by Anne Balthazar

Anne Balthazar — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 16:19:43 +0000

Interesting treatise on how the patient needs to become more involved in the notes his caregiver places in his permanent record. Discouraging to wonder how these caregiver notes can worsen bias toward Black patients, or any ethnicity that may have sufficient reason to disagree with or ignore a recommended treatment method – including Cost. Saddening to learn how the current Administration is eliminating key healthcare positions at a time when knowledgeable people are needed MOST!!

The debate surrounding medical aid in dying for the mentally ill prompted the government to backtrack another 3 years. Practitioners said they weren’t ready; the government had been preparing for this issue for 3 years. Will the legal challenges help broaden the criteria for medical aid in dying for mental disorders?
