Medicare and Medicaid law concerns the federal government's health insurance program for elderly and disabled persons and persons with end-stage renal disease, as well as the federal and state governments' health insurance programs for persons receiving public assistance. Topics include government health care appropriations; government trust funds; government payroll taxes; health care cost measurement and cost-effectiveness; health care insurance; health care networks; inpatient hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health agency, home health aide, hospice care, and other medical services coverage and payments; as well as prescription drug and biologicals coverage and payments. Medicare and Medicaid law research provides particularly rich opportunities for understanding legislative and administrative law. One of the primary duties of the state is to preserve public health. Federal health law is concentrated on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which administers numerous agencies and programs such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Each state has the authority to establish its Medicaid eligibility standards, medical services coverage and payments, and administration. States administer their Medicaid authority through agencies such as the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Current health/medical knowledge is primarily found in the journal literature, and one should never simply rely upon books. When searching the health/medical journal literature, note that, in addition to supporting keyword searching, health/medical indexing and abstracting services tend to use thesauri or controlled vocabulary. This means human beings are involved in the indexing and abstracting of health/medical journal literature, resulting in extremely detailed and precise databases. MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) is the thesaurus used by the U.S. National Library of Medicine in its MEDLARS (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System) databases. MEDLARS has over 40 databases, including Medline/PubMed. Use MeSH when constructing search statements to take full advantage of the high quality comprehensive indexing supporting the MEDLARS databases. In general, health/medical indexing and abstracting services do not provide full-text documents. However, many provide links to full-text document services, and many journals are now available electronically. See the Journal Articles and Current Awareness Services section below for additional information on print and electronic indexes, as well as electronic full-text journals. If you're a student who's trying to pick a topic in Medicare and Medicaid law for a note or article, check out Lawtopic.com and review its Health Law section. Also, consider reviewing current issues and hot topics on news Web sites such as American Lawyer Media's American Lawyer, Law.Com, National Law Journal, and New York Law Journal, as well as Lawyers Weekly.
