The law firm’s support of Michele Young’s research and writing on the Affordable Care Act for the American Bar Association will impact the lives of the most vulnerable in society: the ill, the injured and the destitute. In Ms. Young’s new book for the American Bar Association, Medical Malpractice: Avoiding, Adjudicating, and Litigating in the Challenging New Climate, Ms. Young and co-author James O’Reilly provide a comprehensive guide to the changes transforming the medical field and the legal consequences, including:

  1. The explosive expansion of retail chain store clinics and “telemedicine” (the provision of remote medical advice via technology)
  2. The rise of non-physicians offering diagnoses traditionally in the realm of physicians
  3. The impact of the multiplication of government subsidized health clinics and free clinics.

“This work was a labor of love,” said Ms. Young. “My hope is nothing less than to provide the necessary tools to all the stakeholders in our health system in a time of peril to avoid risk. This is a book that will save lives, and provide the legal and factual foundation for policy makers evaluating the law.”
