Economist Aravind Panagariya's dismissal of Rajasthan's #righttohealth Act as an example of “irresponsible populism” is shocking in a country where the financial burden of healthcare continues to push over 55 million people into poverty every year. scroll.in/article/1047330 
Panagariya also sees pensions and the right of the retired and elderly to a dignified life as a “populist” move in the context of the debate over a new pension scheme launched by the Bharatiya Janata Party government. scroll.in/article/1047330
For Panagariya, any government spending that violates the fictive boundary of fiscal prudence is sacrilege and thereby “irresponsible populism”. One of the pillars of this thinking is that such “dole outs” are necessarily inflationary. scroll.in/article/1047330
Rajasthan: Thousands of doctors from the Govt and Private sectors from all districts of Rajasthan gathered in Jaipur to protest against the Right To Health bill brought by Congress state govt. The rally was 3-4 miles long, with over 50000 medical and paramedical personnel.
The doctors have been agitating to get the Right to Health Bill in the state withdrawn. The massive rally was carried out to press their demand. The bill was passed by the Rajasthan Assembly on Tuesday last week
The reason private doctors are against the bill is that they believe that it will result in increased bureaucratic interference in their functioning

India has a Pre Legislative Consultation Policy, so enough with this veil of 'need to know' secrecy. #PLCP!

Myth #1: The US has the best healthcare system in the world, and moving to Medicare for All would ruin that.

Myth #3: Wait times would be increased under Medicare for All like those seen in Canada and the UK, which could increase mortality.

Language re #covid law, ethics, policy is wooly/confusing. What is #SocialDistancing Mass #Quarantine #Lockdown? We can't possibly balance PH & HRs w/o knowing exactly the intervention. This thread explains what policies are ethical & lawful, & those that are troublesome.
I've worked in PH Law since #AIDS

These actions stretch law/ethics, no clear precedent in modern con law:
❖Cordon sanitaire of large area (incorrectly termed "lockdown")
❖So-called "Mass Quarantine" of large venue (nursing home, cruise ship, apartment block)
❖Draconian enforcement: armed guards, intrusive surv

We will be watching the @VictoriaLIVE programme from 10am. Hoping it's a good debate on NHS charging, which is preventing some patients receiving care. Our doctors spoke with @CatrinNye. Thanks for covering the topic!
@VictoriaLIVE @CatrinNye This issue is not about people travelling to the UK, but about people who are living in the UK who are part of our communities, being charged for care
An awful story for any parent.
We've had several women come to us over the years who have lost their baby late on,during pregnancy. One of the first things the hospitals have done, is to present them with a huge bill.
