1. DaVita Health Care partners were accused of using more medicine vitals or unnecessary spreading medicine dosages across multiple treatments. They were allegedly doing this knowing that Medicare would pay for this “unavoidable” waste. A nurse and a Dr. that worked together noticed that expensive medicine was just being thrown away. These two men were upset this was happening and when nothing was being done to change it they filed a whistleblower case.…

For patients with high cholesterol, Praluent, also known by its generic name, alirocumab, is the new FDA approved drug that is effective at improving liver function to lower bad cholesterol (Goldschmidt). Unlike other available medication in the market, Praluent is a completely new class of drug that enhance the lives of many individuals and provides an alternative method for treating cholesterol that will appeal to patients who do not see results from their current medication or experience severe side effects. Most current statins, like Lipitor, block the liver’s production of bad cholesterol. Praluent uses a different method in which antibodies target a protein called PCSK9 that generally maintains high levels of cholesterol in the liver…

For the past few years, utilization of eminent domain has been greatly debated. Eminent domain is the power of the government to extract one’s own property for communal operations in exchange for a reward. The just compensation clause in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution grants its use in the United States. Though the legality of eminent domain is honest, citizens are still susceptible to this inequitable act of tyranny.…
In considering reparations, Waldron first discusses the counterfactual approach where the ultimate aim of reparation is a full demand to rectify the injustice to the extent that the community affected is similarly placed in a situation had it not occur (7). Waldron largely draws from Robert Nozick’s principle of rectification in his theory of historic entitlement, stating that causal laws and subjunctive information may be applied to determine the equivalent future (8). However, Waldron points out the obvious difficulties with such an approach – namely the challenge of determining which outcome is the most appropriate, given that not all actions are attributable to rational-choice theory or by an extension of causal predictions. Critically…
Edward Vang Ms. Sweet English 2 Gate November 12, 2015 The Problem with Eminent Domain Eminent domain, in the dictionary, is the right of a government or its agent to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation. This means that the government can take any piece of property and change it into something for the public use through some sort of payment. There are many examples where eminent domain is being used.…
In August of 1861, President Lincoln signed the 1st Confiscation Act formalizing to some degree Butler’s contraband argument by authorizing the United States army to seize any slave used to aid the Confederate military. This however did not resolve the ambiguity of the status of the majority of enslaved people who now numbered in the thousands in and around Union army camps. The decision as to whether these people were free, property of the army, or to be returned to their masters was essentially left to the discretion of individual army officers. The 2nd Confiscation Act passed by Congress in the summer of 1862 was far stronger than its predecessor authorizing the army to seize any property including human property of those in rebellion and…
What is justice? Is it making things the way they ought to be, or just the way they were before some wrong occurred? The 2005 Supreme Court case Kelo v. New London generated renewed discussion about this question as it pertains to just compensation for eminent domain takees (Wyman ). Ideally, would it be more just to yield to takees’ subjective judgements of how much value they lost with the taking or to award compensation based on objective standards? The first option corresponds to simply returning things to the way they were, while the latter could potentially create an even fairer situation.…
As the name of the title aptly suggests, Ta-Nehisi Coates, in his article, “The Case for Reparations”, builds a case for the racial minority, that is black folk, to seek amends for the years of injustice and servitude rendered by them to the majority, here in America. Through the medium of Clyde Ross, a veteran but now ordinary citizen, representative of the plight of any other black person living in that era, Coates attempts to provide an argument for the ills and hardships that the Blacks were faced with throughout the previous few centuries, under the regime of white supremacy, in the land of opportunity. In his article, Coates emphasizes not only on the explicit forms and visible aspects of racism and discrimination prevalent, such as…
The Serious Case Review into the murder of Steven Hoskin revealed weaknesses across each of the agencies in contact with him and those responsible for his abuse and murder. Background At the heart of the Serious Case Review were twin uncomfortable and haunting realities. First, Mr Hoskin was regarded by several agencies not as a vulnerable adult to be protected from abuse and neglect but as a perpetrator of antisocial behaviour and worse. Mr Hoskin had been charged and convicted of assault.…
“No person …shall be…deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation” (Williams). Or so that is what the modern people of the U.S thought. Eminent domain was one of the first powers given to the government from the Fifth Amendment. Even though it was one of the first powers that was given to the government, it has become one of the most abused recently in numerous court cases. The vast majority of them end with the government winning with a rebuttal stating that no one can take property without due process of law or just compensation.…
COMMERCIAL LAW Student number: 1400547; Word count:2,173 words The Sale of Goods Act 1979 is a consolidation of the 1893 act and subsequent legislation which places numerous legal obligations on business sellers apart from the agreed express contractual terms. These terms, although not expressly provided for in the contract are fictionally ‘incorporated’ into the contract for consumer protection and also because the contract does not make any commercial sense without them, they are referred to as implied terms. The statutory implied terms that concern sale of goods are embedded in section 13-15 of the 1979 act and in practice do not affect each other like in Arcos Ltd v E A Ronaasen & Son where the goods were of satisfactory quality and fit…
Dispossession is defined as the action of depriving someone of land, property, or other possessions (dictionary.com, 2017). Dispossession has had a malignant effect on aboriginal spiritualties, outlined powerfully within Kath Walkers quote, as it denotes how the British colonised Australia through a long, violent endeavour, acting as catalyst behind the Aboriginals loss of land, territory, family, thus extraditing them from their culture alienating them from their inextricable connectedness referred to as Kanyini (Bob Randall, 2006). The main consequences as a result of this dispossession are explored within the Aboriginal charter of rights (1962) as it paid homage loss of identity and kinship ties, rituals, languages, moiety, social responsibilities and the dreaming spirit. This is explored throughout the quote as Walker refers to how…
