Bse: Risk, Uncertainty, And Policy Change, Enda Cummins, Pat Grace, Kevin Mcdonnell, Shane Ward

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

The authors discuss how, in our "risk society," a range of potential risks and uncertainties are associated with new technologies and new diseases, such as BSE. These risks bring with them worries about human health, while the ability to assess and manage new health scares is an essential skill for government and related industries.

Managed Care: As Good As It Gets? (Los Angeles), Lisa Sprague

National Health Policy Forum

This site visit was a return trip to southern California to examine the state of managed care. Between the Forum's last visit (in late 1998) and this one, the marketplace underwent considerable change, including significant movement away from global capitation, the collapse of physician practice management firms, and the development of new insurance products. Site visitors were briefed on managed care trends in the state, and panel discussions focused on issues related to physician group solvency, employer and consumer expectations, managed care regulation, and plan and provider strategies for surviving and prospering in the difficult southern California market. Site visitors …

Introduction: Keeping Secrets, Dale Carpenter

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

It has become a commonplace to say that September 11 changed everything. What the writer or speaker usually means by this is that Americans have re-calibrated their views on the relative importance of individual civil liberties and the common good. Like many other national traumas, September 11 may in historical hindsight be seen as a jolt that perhaps necessarily-but at any rate, temporarily-induced a retrenchment on rights.

But if the September-11-changed-everything idea overstates the significance of the event, it also understates the extent to which, at least in the area of privacy, some re-calibration of the balance between liberty and …

Keeping Secrets, Dale Carpenter

Articles

The right to privacy is the power to keep secrets. It is a power conferred in one form or another by the Constitution, by statute, and by tort law. It hinders the ability of the government and other citizens to know things about us that we -- often for very good reasons - would rather not have them know. It is a power that acts as a counterweight to the power of the state and of other citizens to monitor-often for very good reasons-what we do, what we read, what we say, and with whom we associate

A Spurious Solution To A Genuine Problem: An In-Depth Look At The 1848 Import Drugs Act, Angela Walch

Faculty Articles

The Import Drugs Act has been relatively ignored by the academic community, and is most often relegated to a passing reference in a footnote. Yet the Act represents an important step in our nation's creation of a safe supply of drugs, and thus deserves some attention. In this paper, I give the Act that attention, and seek to place it in an historical context. In Chapter 1, I describe how Congressional action was prompted by medical conditions during the Mexican War and the belief that American soldiers were being given adulterated drugs. Chapter 2 describes the involvement of the professional …
