A Right to Health? The U.S. Legal Case for Making it Happen

THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 2023

Law professor and public policy advocate Christina S. Ho’s new book, “Normalizing an American Right to Health,” boldly makes the legal case for health as a right that should already exist in the United States. She explains why and unpacks how reinsurance and a Health Impact Assessment fit into her analysis.
