I and three other health care experts will discuss the future of #Medicaid, #Medicare and #ACA in a webinar organized by Ask Nurses and Doctors (AND) on Wednesday, September 17 from 7:30pm to 8:30 pm (ET). You can register at us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

My letter to the editor in today's NY Times argues that #Medicaid benefits everyone not just those whose care it funds. It makes all of society more stable prosperous & healthy. Major cuts would be catastrophic. @drexelpubhealth @DrexelKlineLaw nytimes.com/2025/07/02/opi…

My op-ed on #Medicaid as a source of social and economic support for all of society appeared in today's @PhillyInquirer. Everyone, rich and poor, would feel the effects if efforts in Congress to cripple it succeeded. inquirer.com/opinion/commen… @DrexelKlineLaw @drexelpubhealth

Thrilled to have been awarded the Jay Healey Distinguished Health Law Teacher Award of the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics. A tremendous honor to receive this recognition from this organization of accomplished scholars. @ASLMENews @drexelpubhealth @DrexelKlineLaw

My article on #Medicaid as a font of public goods for all of society will appear in @AmJLMed explaining Medicaid's extensive community benefits beyond health coverage for the poor and support for the #healthcare system. Available on SSRN - papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

My op-ed in @thehill, written with colleagues @AnthonyWOrlando and @RosoffArnold, explained how large cuts to #Medicaid could force many #hospitals to close and undermine much of the U.S. #healthcare system. thehill.com/opinion/health…

It was a delight to accompany a group of @DrexelUniv law students last week for our annual visit to the @Université de @RennesUniv_EN law school in Rennes, France. Our colleagues in Rennes were gracious hosts, as always.

Thrilled to welcome distinguished guests from French universities and foundations to speak alongside @DrexelKlineLaw faculty on cross-border #data sharing. We look forward to continuing our collaboration to explore issues and solutions @RennesUniv

Learn about cross-border issues in #research #data @ Drexel/Universite de Rennes conference, Wed. Oct 16, 8:30-4:30, 1200 Chestnut St, Phila. Expert speakers from US and France. Info and reg link below @DrexelKlineLaw @RennesUniv secure.touchnet.com/C20688_ustores…

I was pleased to share thoughts on #JDVance #healthcare statements on NBC Philadelphia TV today. His idea for separate risk pools for sick and healthy people is highly impractical. nbcphiladelphia.com/decision-2024/… @DrexelKlineLaw @drexelpubhealth

Enjoyed presenting on skepticism of medical science and the role of #disinformation at the Brocher Foundation in Switzerland @drexelpubhealth @DrexelKlineLaw

I enjoyed speaking at the 6th ELSI Congress in New York in June on research conducted with @AnthonyWOrlando & Arnold Rosoff finding no change in the racial and ethnic diversity of #genetic databases used in #Alzheimer's disease research over the past 20 years.

Pleased to present last week on germline #genetics editing and #artificiallntelligence at annual Health Law Professors Conference of @ASLMENews. The combination of technologies brings big risks. Great to see colleagues and share ideas @DrexelKlineCSO @drexelpubhealth

My recent article in European Data Protection Law Review on privacy of #genomics & neurotech data discusses risks of disclosure of sensitive information and uneven legal protection. EU's #gdpr is stronger than US law but still has gaps - edpl.lexxion.eu/article/EDPL/2…

My new article on #Medicaid administrative barriers was just published in @UHLCHealthLaw. Technical rules for enrolling and staying enrolled can shape coverage as much as explicit laws on eligibility - houstonhealthlaw.scholasticahq.com/article/94069-…

Just returned from visits to law schools in France and Italy. Gracious hosting by Univ of Rennes and Univ of Milan-Bicocca. Lectures explained (or tied to) America's complex laws on #vaccines, #privacy, & #healthcare to inquisitive students and faculty.

The incoming #Philadelphia mayor must tap #PublicHealth expertise for intractable problems like #opioids, #homelessness, #unemployment. My coauthored letter to the editor of the @PhillyInquirer - inquirer.com/opinion/letter… @drexelpubhealth

Rollout of #covidbooster has been rocky wt #insurance and supply issues, but most people can wait for things to settle down. Glitches are being worked out. My comments in @PhillyInquirer story inquirer.com/health/coronav…

European Skew in Genetic Research Databases Won’t Abate Without More Concerted Effort ift.tt/4SRYBjf

#genomic research still relies heavily on European subjects. We found little change in #AlzheimersDisease research over the past 25 years. #more-31869" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">blog.petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2023/06/30/eur…
