I am at the Waldorf Astoria Boca Raton for the SEALS Annual conference.
There are five long sessions focused on health law on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
The Health Care System of Tomorrow
The future of the health care system depends on effective policy implementation tailored to the evolving landscape of regulatory constraints, delivery models, emerging technologies, and changing population needs. This panel will identify current legal and policy barriers to effective functioning of the health care system. Specific areas of coverage include critiques of current (1) Medicare financing of graduate medical education, as both outdated and contributing to provider shortages in critical areas; (2) Medicaid coverage policies that prevent adequate home and community based services; (3) approaches to regulating reproductive technologies, including oocyte cryopreservation and posthumous reproduction; and (4) Medicare payment policies that fail to recognize hospital influence on out-of-hospital treatment.

Hot Issues in Law and Bioethics
Medical practice realities interact with law and ethics to profoundly impact patients and the nature of policy development. This discussion will focus on illustrative examples, including (1) end-of-life decision making (physician aid in dying, determination of brain death, assisting patients with advance directives, and the legacy of Schiavo), (2) the impact of difference, disability, and non-typical functioning on appropriate and equitable treatment, (3) the meaning of informed consent in different contexts, (4) public health approaches that negatively impact individuals, (5) genetic and reproductive technologies, and (6) routine provider practices that harm patients. The participants will discuss the implications of these and other issues, share current research, and recommend possible directions for inquiry and action.

King v. Burwell
King v. Burwell was one of the biggest cases decided by the Supreme Court this term. The case was the second major Obamacare decision by the Supreme Court and centered on whether the federal government can give subsidies to people who obtain health insurance on an exchange operated by the federal government in a state that has declined to set up its own exchange. The case raises questions about judicial review of agency statutory interpretation under the Chevron doctrine, states’ rights, and the Court’s interpretive posture with respect to major acts of Congress. Discussants from the disciplines of constitutional law, administrative law, health law, and tax law discuss the implications of the Court's decision.

Current Issues in Reproductive Rights
In October 2014, Apple and Facebook announced that they would begin paying for egg freezing for their employees. Whether hailed as progress or a setback on women's rights, the announcement is symbolic of the significance of reproductive technologies to contemporary families. The law, however, lags behind technological developments. This discussion group will address the variety of legal issues that come about with technological advances in reproductive technology, such as parentage issues with sperm and egg donors, non-invasive prenatal diagnostic testing, commercial surrogacy, and proposed restrictions on assisted reproductive technologies. This discussion group will also address other issues related to reproductive rights, including Roe v. Wade then and now and the personhood movement.
