SUPREME COURT
Justice Ginsburg’s impact on health care jurisprudence
As the nation mourns the loss of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and reflects on her life and contributions, a review of her positions on issues involving health care can be found at the OnTheIssues.org website. Among the positions taken by Justice Ginsburg that are summarized on the site are the following:
- ACA individual mandate is constitutional under Commerce Clause (National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, 2012; joined majority)
- States have authority to protect patient rights, not preempted by ERISA (Rush Prudential HMO v. Moran, 2002; joined majority)
- States decide insurance issues, not federal government; under Federal Employees Health Benefits Act states are the proper venue for suits by federal beneficiaries against insurers (Empire HealthChoice Assurance v. McVeigh, 2006; wrote majority opinion)
- Congress didn’t intend disparate result on product liability for generic drugs (Pliva v. Mensing, 2011; joined dissent) [Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Health Care, OnTheIssues.org, accessed 21 Sep 20; https://bit.ly/3chPZJc]
