Public Health and Rights to Privacy: Should medical providers be bound by Public Health policies? Recently, a nurse who was exposed to the Ebola virus refused quarantine rules imposed by the legislature and health department of New Jersey. What were the arguments on both sides? What roles did science, cultural values and norms, and political posturing play in policymaking? What other factors were involved? What are implications for other issues in which private and public health sectors must collaborate?
Is unregulated economic growth good for our health? Scientists argue that diminishing biodiversity in our ecosystems world-wide, much of it due to unrestricted development and other human activity, will affect our health in the future. Are there ways we can grow an economy and maintain diversity in the environment?
Health care digitization and other new technologies in your doctor’s office: Physicians and their staffs are facing increased pressures to digitize medical records, and recruit and maintain a remote client base through telemedicine practices, i.e., incorporate new technologies into their practices. Are these new practices changing the doctor-patient relationship? What do both doctors and patients think about the changes? And, what roles are medical industries, healthcare corporations, and governments playing in effecting certain changes?
Making the rules regarding women’s contraceptive choices: One of most controversial (and litigated) provision of the PPACA is the obligation of employer plans to cover contraceptive services under prevention. Businesses that oppose coverage have challenged the law and won concessions. What are the origins of this debate, both in the construction of the law and in the history of women’s contraceptive choices in America? What implications does this have for women’s health care and for future policymaking? Should private businesses be able to block access to health care for women?
What should government do in response to the problem of access to health care?: The Obama administration developed a health care policy that addressed the tens of millions of Americans who in 2010 were uninsured (and millions more who were underinsured). What provisions of the PPACA attempt to create a more inclusive system? What are the values and politics behind them? What are the arguments opposed? Did the PPACA go far enough, as others contend the U.S. should transition to a federally-funded “Medicare for Everybody” universal health insurance system?
