Christina S. HoI've been beating this drum for a while---we need an FDIC for health care. Finally wrote about health reinsurance for Slate in light of "reinsurance" for banks and other risk spreading institutions. https://slate.com/business/2023/05/fdic-bank-failures-reinsurance-medical-costs.html

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] this is one of those essays where I feel like we're learning as much about the author's unaddressed anxieties as we are about an actual problem in the world
@ugarles What's the reason he'll give for making the payment through a nonprofit that he wasn't an officer of?

Normalizing an American Right to Health
This book argues against the conventional wisdom that a U.S. right to health is out of reach. It shows that the necessary change is not extraordinary but familiar and that the law has already laid considerable groundwork in ordinary statutes and case law. This descriptive foundation, revealed through the application of well-accepted theories of rights, has simply yet to be either acknowledged as, or relied upon, for rights-building.
The book is out, and Amazon is showing it as the #1 New Release in Comparative Law! Which, well yes, it's Amazon's hypercategorization at work, but it's a neighborhood of knowledge that I love, so woohoo! If you love it too, get a copy! https://www.amazon.com/Normalizing-American-Right-Health-Christina/dp/0197650597/ref=zg_bsnr_10814_sccl_1/139-7259190-8941535?psc=1

In pushing a pardon for Perry, they’re stating they believe that if someone plows his vehicle into a crowd of protesters, the protesters have no right to self-defense.” https://radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-smearing-of-garrett-foster?utm_medium=email
