Why healthcare reform may unleash a litigation explosion

Pages 91-95 | Published online: 05 Dec 2017
 

Abstract

One aspect of healthcare reform that has been largely overlooked is the expansion of antidiscrimination laws far beyond the traditional grounds of race, sex, age, and religion. Added to this is a provision giving individuals the broad right to sue over “government-guaranteed” medical treatment. What are the implications of such sweeping reforms? According to law professor Bradley A. Smith, a new wave of litigation is a real possibility.
