Big news in the health law space! Healthcare is officially one word in all circumstances and uses according to AP. Pretty sure we have all spent time figuring our own rules out for this.

It is the last substantive day of my bioethics class and we just finished reading about social justice theory. I have just sent them into their groups to come up with the proper goals of a health care financing system and how we should pay for it. They report back in twenty minutes.
I recently gave a lecture in China to law students there on the basics of United States healthcare financing from a legal perspective and I think it might be helpful to people here who aren’t in the field. Here is the YouTube link, I think it is pretty easy to follow and straightforward.
LHSS: Understanding the US Healthcare Financing System
Title: LHSS: Understanding the US Healthcare Financing System Speaker:Prof. Jacqueline Fox, University of South Carolina Joseph Rice School of Law Moderator:Norman P. Ho, Peking University School of Transnational Law Date and Time: December 9, 2025 Lecture Summary: The United States has a unique, and uniquely chaotic, system for paying for health care. Many different entities pay for care, including the federal government, private citizens, and employers. There is rationing, both based on need and who has money. This presentation will explain how this financing and rationing system is structured. At the end there will be a brief description of the changes coming next year under a law passed by the Trump administration.
