The American Health Lawyers Association released a white paper on August 10, 2009, which analyzes the problems and benefits of the Stark Law and challenges amidst pending health care reform. In light of these significant policy discussions, many are wondering whether Congress will take action. Reed Smith’s Karl Thallner was quoted in BNA’s Health Law Reporter article discussing difficulties of the Stark law and the proposed improvements suggested by AHLA Committee.
