The American University Washington College of Law
and The Health Law Project of the LLM Program on Law and Government PRESENTS Cracks in the System: The Adequacy of U.S. Healthcare Regulation in a Global Age This symposium will focus on the question of whether the United States has the regulatory structures in place to deal with a pandemic or a biological terrorist attack. In addressing this question, the participants will explore the tensions between federal, state, and local regulation of healthcare. Questions of federalism seriously complicated the coordination of relief efforts in the recent Hurricane Katrina disaster and raise concerns about what problems could arise should the nation face a catastrophic health emergency.
