An obituary for US Senator Orrin G. Hatch is presented. His forty-two years of service in this body are marked by successes, historic legislation, and statesmanship. He served longer as a U.S. Senator than any other in the history of the State of Utah or the Republican Party. At his retirement, he had passed more bills into law than any other legislator alive, an astounding seven-hundred-and-fifty. His service is remarkable and memorable.

PUBLIC HEALTH ADVOCACY David N. Sundwall (p. 449), who was director of the health staff of the US Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee under Orrin Hatch (R, UT), wonders how we should go about advocating public health in these difficult times. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION For Ken Olden (p. 454), formerly with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the Environmental Protection Agency ibPA), farmers, coal miners, and bluecollar workers do not support the EPA because it has not been able to explain its continued importance and role in protecting human health and the environment after having dramatically reduced visible forms of pollution. According to Gottfried, \"The states have always been 'the laboratories of democracy' and New York has led on many issues that once seemed out of reach. \"(p453) Moffit says, \"If 'Blue' states like New York wish to enact a 'single payer' system, they are free to do so.

The Supreme Court decision in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association has opened a door that has remained closed for more than a quarter century, allowing states to begin legalizing sports gaming. State lawmakers' excitement in seeking a new way to generate revenue is palpable through the more than 25 different bills that have been introduced to legalize sports betting since the May 2018 Supreme Court decision. In addition to the interest shown by state lawmakers, Senators Orrin Hatch and Charles Schumer introduced a federal sports gambling bill. The desire to generate revenue for states via a source other than new taxes is understandable; however, there has been a rush in many states to implement sports wagering schemes that either provide maximum benefit to the state, while trying to be first in the region offering sports betting, and seemingly neglecting wholesale objectives such as recapturing money from sports betting's vast $150 billion black market. The regulation of sports betting is a complicated topic often involving state, tribal, and federal governments. This Article discusses the challenges of regulating sports betting at the state, tribal, and federal levels, before identifying and suggesting best practices for regulation in the space and reviewing possible alternative schemes for regulation.

Bears Ears National Monument (BENM), a site with extraordinary cultural, scientific, and recreational values, was established by President Barack Obama of the United States in 2016. One year later, the monument’s area was reduced by 85%. Due to backlash from stakeholders, such as the indigenous, scientific, and environmental communities, and multiple options have presented themselves to resolve the conflict. This paper provides a thorough but condensed knowledge of the ongoing and proposed efforts to maintain the original boundaries of the BENM.

Can new FISA court reforms address privacy concerns without impeding anti-terrorism efforts? ALTHOUGH THE REVAMPING OF BULK DATA-COLLECTION PRACTICES dominated headlines about the passage of the USA Freedom Act in June, the new law also contained reforms of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) (Pub. [...]amicus curiae would make \"(1) legal arguments that advance protection of individual privacy and civil liberties, or (2) other legal arguments or information related to intelligence collection or communications technology.\" According to a May 2015 Pew Research Center report titled \"What Americans Think About NSA Surveillance, National Security and Privacy,\" Americans have complex, almost schizophrenic views on the privacy issues in play.

The proposed Patient CARE Act would restructure much of Medicaid as a block grant. But that might render it an unconstitutional coercion of the states, which would be compelled to conform to a new compact without the requisite advance notice of profound alterations. In February 2015, Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Richard Burr (R-NC), along with Representative Fred Upton (R-MI), unveiled the Patient Choice, Affordability, Responsibility, and Empowerment Act (Patient CARE Act). 1 Although its terms remain sketchy, the proposal deserves serious attention. The Budget Resolutions passed by each House of Congress in late March, though nonbinding, assume enactment of some version of the proposal, and Hatch and Upton chair the Senate Finance Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee, respectively, two of Congress's most powerful health committees. The Patient CARE Act would repeal the insurance reforms of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) . . .

Three Republican senators have unveiled a proposal that would repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with legislation based on Republican health policy principles. The proposal recycles long-standing Republican prescriptions but also offers new ideas. By voting repeatedly to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) over the past 4 years, Republicans have risked being identified as a party without a positive health policy agenda. On January 27, 2014, however, three Republican senators — Orrin Hatch (UT), Tom Coburn (OK), and Richard Burr (NC) — unveiled a proposal that would not only repeal the ACA, but also replace it with comprehensive legislation based on Republican health policy principles. 1 Although the proposal recycles long-standing Republican prescriptions, it also offers new ideas. The proposal would not entirely repeal the ACA. Republicans seem to be coming to terms with . . .

With time and administrative care, the ACA can be implemented successfully. For the next several years, political battles will determine the law's fate, but over the longer term, its success will depend on elected officials' responses to emerging challenges. Open enrollment for 2014 insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) ended on March 31. When the White House reported that enrollment had reached the targets, one could almost hear sighs of relief from supporters and gnashing of teeth by opponents. In truth, meeting the enrollment targets made clear only that the administration had successfully brought order out of the chaos attending the rollout last October. After a ritually correct interval, Kathleen Sebelius, head of the cabinet department immediately responsible for that chaos, resigned. Meeting numeric targets that were measured 6 months after the insurance exchanges opened will not . . .

Throughout the past several years, Sen Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has led a charge to make certain modifications to the law relating to qualified retirement plans. Sen Hatch recently announced that he is leaving the Senate when his term expires this year. And, he again introduced a 2018 version of the Retirement Enhancement and Savings Act (RESA) for consideration by Congress. First and foremost, RESA contains provisions to untangle the ridiculous web of difficulties that surround retirement plans that are multiple employer plans. Both the Labor sections of ERISA and the Tax Code provisions stumble around multiple employer plans in a particularly inept way and for very little reason. RESA provisions address those concerns. RESA would encourage participants to save and plan for a more secure retirement. The passage by Congress of this bill would be a great help to retirement plan formation and a lovely send-off for a hardworking Senator in his last year in office.
