Are State Public Option Health Plans Worth It?, Jaime S. King, Katherine L. Gudiksen, Erin C. Fuse Brown Jan 2022

Are State Public Option Health Plans Worth It?, Jaime S. King, Katherine L. Gudiksen, Erin C. Fuse Brown

Faculty Scholarship

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the weaknesses of the U.S. health care system’s reliance on private, employer-based health insurance. The crisis in health care access and affordability has increased support for a public option— the choice to purchase a state-initiated health plan with publicly determined rates. Congressional gridlock, however, may dim the chances for a federal pub- lic option. States have stepped into the policy vacuum, proposing forty-nine bills to establish state public options since 2010, including three that became law. This article provides a comprehensive survey and taxonomy of state public op- tion proposals from 2010–2021, identifying three main models: …

In Search Of The Public Interest, Jodi L. Short Jan 2022

In Search Of The Public Interest, Jodi L. Short

Faculty Scholarship

“Public interest” standards in statutory delegations to agencies represent the greatest hopes and the darkest fears of the U.S. administrative state. On the one hand, the public interest standard provides a vessel for agencies to infuse policymaking with the moral and ethical commitments of the community. On the other hand, regulation in the public interest opens the door to the arbitrary exercise of tyrannical state power. Despite the lofty aspirations and ominous warnings about regulation in the public interest, little is known about how agencies actually decide what is in the public interest when charged by statute to do so. …

Cultural Changes Since Đổi Mới - From Guidelines To Reality, Dung Nguyen-Manh

That is a vital premise, a life and death situation for the Communist Party of Vietnam in the VIth Party Congress in 1986.

Mobility Revisited : The Illusion In Bangkok & Tokyo Transportation – A Comparative Analysis, Chai Skulchokchai Jan 2022

Mobility Revisited : The Illusion In Bangkok & Tokyo Transportation – A Comparative Analysis, Chai Skulchokchai

Journal of Urban Culture Research

This paper argues against the traditional notion of mobility by reinterpreting it through three concepts: Margin of Indeterminacy, Governmobility and Lefebvre’s Production of Space. The author chooses to compare the transportation of Bangkok and Tokyo based on direct experience and the city transportation’s respective notability. The paratransportation and decentralized transportation in Bangkok allows the city to have a wider margin of indeterminacy than Tokyo. By that, people in Bangkok has other alternatives when a major transportation has an issue. Tokyo depends primary on its railway. Foucauldian governmentality argued that mobility is another way where the government governs over the people. …

One outcome of Chiang Mai’s administrative integration into the Thai nation was the erosion of its distinctive cultural identity. Beginning in the 1980s, key local figures began to collaborate with communities and academic institutions to revitalize Chiang Mai’s intangible cultural heritage, including its craft traditions, rituals, textiles, and dance performances. …
