Affordable Care Act Advocacy

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.”
