Suppose an extraterrestrial anthropologist asks you what type of health system you would build in the United States, if you could start from scratch. You need to 1) describe the health care system and how it would be financed. 2) describe where care would be received and how care would be rationed. 3) discuss production efficiency, efficiency in consumption, and equitable redistribution [see chapter 36 for a reminder of these definitions] and how they relate to your proposal. How and why is your proposed system better than the current health care system in the United States?

Case: You have recently been hired as an OR nurse at Community Hospital. Recently divorced and the mother of two very small children, you were thrilled and relieved to get a job with these hours at the only hospital in this small mid-western city. However, on your second day, you are confronted with an unusual situation. A 35-year-old woman is scheduled to undergo the surgical removal of a benign uterine tumor. While preparing for surgery, you discover that the two physicians performing the surgery are using equipment they are neither familiar with nor authorized to use. In addition, a sales person from the medical device manufacturer that makes the equipment used in the surgery operates the controls while the physicians perform the procedure. You express concern that you are not trained in assisting with the equipment. The physicians tell you not to worry because the sales person is operating the controls. You quietly ask another nurse if that is allowed by hospital policy and she says no. However, she shrugs and whispers, “They do it all the time. It’s not worth making a fuss about if you want to keep your job. Just go along and do what you’re told. It’ll be fine.”

Dr. Michael Cuss has had admitting privileges at Hapless Hospital for the past 6 years.  Hapless is incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation.  Its by-laws provide that the board members must include the city health commissioner, the mayor or his/her delegate, and one city council member.  The city has a contract with Hapless in which Hapless agrees to provide care for indigent patients of the city.  Payments to Hapless under this contract make up 40% of the Hospitals revenue.  The commissioner, mayor and councilperson have been very active on the board.

Dr. Cuss has an abrasive personality and is considered a maverick among the physicians at Hapless.  Although Dr. Cuss' relationships at the hospital have never been entirely cordial, there have been no serious problems until recently when he began to expand his practice by employing a nurse practitioner and a physician's assistant (PA).  Dr. Cuss is very vocal about the hostility he perceives on the part of the staff at the hospital toward his new employees.  He has spoken to the administrator and told him that he would sue the hospital if the administrator, the medical staff or hospital employees interfered with his practice.

The administrator and president of the medical staff last month received letters from several doctors on the staff reporting that the nurse practitioner employed by Dr. Cuss made house calls on patients and that the PA prescribed medications.  They also stated that his supervision of the PA was inadequate.

Under a provision in the by-laws, the administrator and the president of the medical staff summarily suspended Dr. Cuss privileges.  Their action was discovered and reported by the local newspaper.  Many of Dr. Cuss patients left him and his employees resigned.

Dr. Cuss has filed suit against the hospital.  What is the basis of his cause of action?  What theories of liability will he include?  Will he be Successful?  Why or why not? Be sure to include all possible theories and rationales.
