The interplay of Medicare/Medicaid liens and personal injury settlements

Most people have never heard of a Medicare or Medicaid lien. They have no idea what the term even means. For the layperson, a Medicare/Medicaid lien is one that is issued by the government for repayment of expenses paid for medical care of a plaintiff in a personal injury lawsuit (or anyone involved in a claim negotiation with a third party insurer). Under federal law, if Medicare or Medicaid has paid for medical care for an eligible patient and that patient later settles a related personal injury lawsuit, Medicare or Medicaid must be paid back. Similar statutes and case ...

Congress introduces new sentencing bill amid skyrocketing prison population, costs

The U.S. justice system, particularly the country's sentencing structure for certain crimes, is far from perfect. In some instances, those convicted of murderer receive shorter prison sentences than those convicted of so-called victimless crimes such as marijuana drug possession. This is because laws for certain crimes have been passed that mandate an automatic minimum sentence regardless of the particular situation. In recent years, particularly in the wake of recreational marijuana legalization in various states, the public has questioned the feasibility of these ...
