Cet article documente l’évolution rapide du paysage juridique afin d’étudier et de contextualiser l’importance de ces conflits interétatiques et d’illustrer comment les inégalités s’aggravent lorsque les soins de santé sont laissés aux mains des gouvernements des États sans que la législation nationale ne serve de garde‑fou. S’appuyant sur une recherche interdisciplinaire, notamment dans les domaines du droit, de la médecine et de la santé publique, cet article examine comment la théorie traditionnelle du fédéralisme, qui encourage la variation sous‑gouvernementale, n’apporte pas de solutions claires aux obstacles que pose le droit des États à la coopération interétatique au sein d’une union fédérale, qui a été essentielle pour réglementer les soins de santé aux États‑Unis.

Confusion, Chaos, and Conflict in U.S. Law and Health Care after Dobbs
description The U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision caused a proliferation of contradictory state laws and judicial decisions that are producing confusion for health care providers, which in turn limits access to care for all patients of reproductive age.
