ADHD, or the Medicalization of Social Problems
Fixing Medical Prices
Reviewed by: Fixing Medical Prices: How Physicians Are Paid by Miriam J. Laugesen Rick Mayes Miriam J. Laugesen. Fixing Medical Prices: How Physicians Are Paid. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2016. xiv + 271 pp. $35.00 (978-0-674-54516-8). Fixing Medical Prices is a superb book on a subject—how Medicare determines what it pays physicians—that is both exceedingly complex and arcane, yet also critically important in terms of impacting …
Christy Ford Chapin, Ensuring America’s Health
Christy Ford Chapin’s Ensuring America’s Health is an excellent book to give to anyone who has been baffled by the long, strange journey of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. It is very difficult to explain why so much political capital, legal advocacy (including two Supreme Court cases) and taxpayer money for subsidies to private health insurers has been expended to help more people obtain access to health care (not he…
Disjunction Between Probability and Verdict in Juror Decision Making
Although the law assumes a close relation between the probability that a defendant committed the act in question and the ensuing verdict of the jurors, prior research has shown this assumption to be often violated. We present five experiments designed to show that factors that influence probability also influence verdict, but other factors are capable of directly producing changes in verdict without affecting probability. In Experiment 1, we repl…
Medicating Kids
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( adhd ) holds the distinction of being both the most extensively studied pediatric mental disorder and one of the most controversial. This is partly due to the fact that it is also the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder among minors. Currently, almost 8 percent of youth from the ages of four to seventen have a diagnosis of ADHD, and slightly more than 4 percent both have the diagnosis and are taking …
Suffer the restless children
This article traces the historical evolution of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the controversial use of stimulants as a treatment for children diagnosed with the disorder in North America.While the children in question have exhibited similar behaviour over the last century, the diagnostic labels used to identify them have changed due largely to cultural, medical and scientific changes and discoveries. For decades, children's …
The Origins, Development, and Passage of Medicare's Revolutionary Prospective Payment System
This article explains the origins, development, and passage of the single most influential postwar innovation in medical financing: Medicare's prospective payment system (PPS). Inexorably rising medical inflation and deep economic deterioration forced policymakers in the late 1970s to pursue radical reform of Medicare to keep the program from insolvency. Congress and the Reagan administration eventually turned to the one alternative reimbursement…
DSM-III and the revolution in the classification of mental illness
A revolution occurred within the psychiatric profession in the early 1980s that rapidly transformed the theory and practice of mental health in the United States. In a very short period of time, mental illnesses were transformed from broad, etiologically defined entities that were continuous with normality to symptom-based, categorical diseases. The third edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Menta…
Causal Chains and Cost Shifting
The conventional wisdom on how managed care came to replace traditional fee-for-service reimbursement as the nation's dominant mode of health insurance is that enlightened businesses and their employers led the way in responding to the emergence of market forces in health care in the 1990s. A common textbook treatment of managed care's ascendancy puts it this way: “Transformation of the health care delivery system through managed care has been dr…
