Rollout of #covidbooster has been rocky wt #insurance and supply issues, but most people can wait for things to settle down. Glitches are being worked out. My comments in The Philadelphia Inquirer story inquirer.com/health/coronav…

The incoming #Philadelphia mayor must tap #PublicHealth expertise for intractable problems like #opioids, #homelessness, #unemployment. My coauthored letter to the editor of the The Philadelphia Inquirer - inquirer.com/opinion/letter… Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel Univ.


My new article on #Medicaid administrative barriers was just published in Houston Journal of Health Law and Policy. Technical rules for enrolling and staying enrolled can shape coverage as much as explicit laws on eligibility - houstonhealthlaw.scholasticahq.com/article/94069-…

My op-ed in The Hill, written with colleagues Anthony W. Orlando and Arnold Rosoff, explained how large cuts to #Medicaid could force many #hospitals to close and undermine much of the U.S. #healthcare system. thehill.com/opinion/health…

My article on #Medicaid as a font of public goods for all of society will appear in American Journal of Law & Medicine explaining Medicaid's extensive community benefits beyond health coverage for the poor and support for the #healthcare system. Available on SSRN - papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

My op-ed on #Medicaid as a source of social and economic support for all of society appeared in today's The Philadelphia Inquirer. Everyone, rich and poor, would feel the effects if efforts in Congress to cripple it succeeded. inquirer.com/opinion/commen… Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel Univ.

My letter to the editor in today's NY Times argues that #Medicaid benefits everyone not just those whose care it funds. It makes all of society more stable prosperous & healthy. Major cuts would be catastrophic. Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel Univ. Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law nytimes.com/2025/07/02/opi…
