2018--Public Health Law in the Era of Alternative Facts, Isolationism, and the One Percent

2018--Public Health Law in the Era of Alternative Facts, Isolationism, and the One Percent

Description

Broad shifts in U.S. policy under President Trump affect population health well beyond the repeal of the ACA's tax-penalty. How do we pursue population health in a political regime suspect of or even hostile to scientific evidence? In an environment that accommodates racial and economic disparities, is health equity possible? SLU LAW's 30th Annual Health Law Symposium explored these and other questions.
