Book excerpt: In this long-awaited updated edition of his groundbreaking work Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis, renowned healthcare economist John Goodman ("father" of Health Savings Accounts) analyzes America's ongoing healthcare fiasco—including, for this edition, the failed promises of Obamacare. Goodman then provides what many critics of our healthcare system neglect: solutions. And not a moment too soon. Americans are entangled in a system with perverse incentives that raise costs, reduce quality, and make care less accessible. It's not just patients that need liberation from this labyrinth of confusion—it's doctors, businessmen, and institutions as well. Read this new work and discover: why no one sees a real price for anything: no patient, no doctor, no employer, no employee; how Obamacare's perverse incentives cause insurance companies to seek to attract the healthy and avoid the sick; why having a preexisting condition is actually WORSE under Obamacare than it was before—despite rosy political promises to the contrary; why emergency-room traffic and long waits for care have actually increased under Obamacare; how Medicaid expansion spends new money insuring healthy, single adults, while doing nothing for the developmentally disabled who languish on waiting lists and children who aren't getting the pediatric care they need; how the market for medical care COULD be as efficient and consumer-friendly as the market for cell phone repair... and what it would take to make that happen; how to create centers of medical excellence, which compete to meet the needs of the chronically ill; and much, much more... Thoroughly researched, clearly written, and decidedly humane in its concern for the health of all Americans, John Goodman has written the healthcare book to read to understand today's healthcare crisis. His proposed solutions are bold, crucial, and most importantly, caring. Healthcare is complex. But this book isn't. It's clear, it's satisfying, and it's refreshingly human. If you read even one book about healthcare policy in America, this is the one to read.

This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 1316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook is the first comprehensive account of comparative environmental law. It examines in detail the methodological foundations of the discipline as well as the substance of environmental law across countries from four vantage points: country studies from all continents, responses to common problems (including air pollution, water management, nature conservation, genetically modified organisms, climate change and energy, chemicals, waste), foundational components of environmental law systems (including principles, property rights, administrative and judicial organisation, command-and-control regulation, market mechanisms, informational techniques and liability mechanisms), and common interactions of environmental protection with the broader public, private, and criminal law contexts. The volume brings together the foremost authorities in this field from around the world to provide a concise, self-contained, and technically rigorous account of environmental law as a single overall system.

Download or read book EU Environmental Law written by Geert Van Calster and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-24 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU Environmental Law discusses the reality for legal practice throughout the EU, as environmental law of the Member States is becoming ever less 'national'. Consequentially European environmental regulation is becoming more complex and interrelated, making it an emerging field of study for European law graduates, and an area of increasing exposure to the legal profession. This book gives readers a thorough overview of core European environmental law, with a section on the basic framework and principles, as well as on substantive law issues giving insight into the legislation in the different sectors and the most topical developments.

Download or read book The Habitats Directive in its EU Environmental Law Context written by Charles-Hubert Born and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the Habitats Directive; one of the most prominent piece of EU environmental legislation of the past decades. Seen by some as the cornerstone of Europe’s nature conservation policy, among other measures the Directive established the so-called "Natura 2000" ecological network, which covers more than 18% of the surface of the EU. However, despite the fact the Directive was adopted over twenty years ago only 17% of the protected habitats and species in Europe are being adequately protected while 10-60 % of animal species remain under threat. In light of the limited success and the contested nature of the Habitats Directive so far this book examines the successes and failures of the Habitats Directive from a legal and political angle. The book brings together international experts to consider the application, implementation and future of the Habitats Directive in order to assess whether the Habitats Directive is resilient enough to tackle biodiversity loss in the twenty- first century. Particular emphasis is put on the legal regime attached to the Natura 2000 network and its possible impact on land development and the relationship between the Habitats Directive and other topics including liability for ecological damage and transboundary nature conservation.

Download or read book Admisibilidad del recurso de casaci n penal written by Beatriz J. Ruiz Marin and published by Ediciones Olejnik. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra puede servir de herramienta al lector interesado en temas específicos del derecho penal, como lo es, la admisibilidad del recurso de casación, materia que puede ahondar con respecto a diferentes aspectos o tópicos que van desde lo genérico a lo fundamental o básico, y así lograr tener una orientación más amplia desde el punto de vista de este medio impugnatorio a través de la comparación entre el sistema penal inquisitivo y el sistema penal acusatorio. Con esta obra se pretende procurar y dar una orientación sencilla a muchos desasosiegos que pudiesen tener tanto el estudiante como el profesional del derecho, jurista, académico, entre otros, en el transcurso de sus investigaciones, estudios y ensayos o simplemente que sirva de cultura general al lector interesado en el tema. Según la apreciación de la autora, el "recurso de casación penal" en el orden jurisdiccional, es uno de los recursos de impugnación más importantes en el catálogo de los recursos, por ser el único y último que se interpone ante el máximo Tribunal de Justicia contra las sentencias dictadas por las Cortes de Apelaciones que hayan resuelto el recurso de apelación contra aquellas, salvo el recurso de revisión, como medio impugnatorio por vía excepcional contra las sentencias condenatorias firmes. El contexto de la presente obra es eminentemente práctico con abundantes citas jurisprudenciales y referencias de diversos autores, necesarios en el ámbito jurídico, así como de toda investigación, estudio o análisis comparativo. En este trabajo la autora destaca la importancia que debe tener la decisión sobre la admisibilidad del recurso de casación penal, su oportunidad procesal para la toma de dicha decisión y el órgano competente para ello, tomándose en cuenta un análisis comparativo entre lo que establecía y establece en la actualidad la ley penal adjetiva y lo que realmente sucedía y sucede de manera práctica dentro del proceso tanto en el sistema penal inquisitivo como en el sistema penal acusatorio a manera de tener un análisis comparativo. Este libro está dirigido especialmente a los profesionales del derecho que deciden interponer o intervenir en un recurso de casación penal y desean saber más sobre la historia de la casación, así como del órgano que lo ha venido conociendo durante décadas. Se trata de una obra de naturaleza práctica, que propone pautas, criterios y consejos para abordar este recurso, que tiene una naturaleza ciertamente particular. Por ello, el texto se acompaña de citas jurisprudenciales que nos ayudan a entender mejor el tema investigado, referente a la oportunidad procesal en que debe interponerse el recurso, decisiones contra las cuales solamente debe recurrirse, manera en que debe ser procesado el recurso, entre otros aspectos de tipo procedimental y legal.
