Description

This course will be taught entirely online via Zoom.

This is an advanced class in health law and policy that explores the role of competition in health care systems that are also highly regulated. Approximately half of the course will consider the interplay of competition and regulation as both a normative and a descriptive matter, including international comparisons. The other half of the course will focus on the application of U.S. antitrust law to the health care system, examining both historical cases and recent or ongoing disputes through readings and conversations with antitrust litigators and enforcers.
