We welcome guest Wendy Parmet from Northeastern University School of Law. Professor Parmet is a leading voice internationally on cutting edge issues in public health and a Bill of Health regular. We discussed the right to health, as applied to immigrants, public health as collective action, and the regulation of e-cigarettes. For show openers, Frank discussed insurers’ major rate increases, and industry consolidation. Nic covered a report on the Ebola incident in Texas in 2014, and an interesting new study on insurance and utilization.
The Week in Health Law Podcast from Frank Pasquale and Nicolas Terry is a commuting-length discussion about some of the more thorny issues in Health Law & Policy.
