Covid-19, Doctors, And The “Realities Of Prison Administration” Part I: The Realities Of A Subject Matter Expert, Fred Rottnek
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
COVID-19 is still novel. As scientists continue racing to characterize the virus and its mutations, promote behavioral change, and optimize treatment and vaccination strategies, public policy makers shift their attention from one high priority population to the next. These spotlights have converged on one truism of the pandemic: COVID-19 infection, and all its sequelae, have magnified long-established social and structural inequities in U.S. institutions—including practices in jails, prisons, and detention facilities. While these facilities were recognized as early incubators of the virus, the response of the facility administrators and local leaders were at best uneven and at worst nonexistent. When …

The Administration’S Medicaid Waivers: Exploding In The Guise Of Experimenting, Jane Perkins
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
Congress enacted the Medicaid Act with the stated purpose of furnishing medical assistance to low-income people. Medicaid participation is not required of a state, but if a state does choose to participate—which they all do—the federal government will contribute the lion’s share of the cost of providing care. In return, the state agrees to pay the remaining costs of care. The state must also adhere to the detailed regulatory scheme Congress placed in the Medicaid Act, including requirements for determining eligibility for the program and the scope and affordability of coverage. Section 1115 of the Social Security Act authorizes the …
