For Medicare And Medicaid Innovation

By Amol S. Navathe, Bob Kocher, Ezekiel J. Emanuel, Sherry Glied, and
Farzad Mostashari

The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency has once again laid bare stark
disparities for low-income and minority communities. But it has also

Innovation embarks upon its second decade, it must consolidate and

**A CLOSER LOOK**-Health, Climate, And Public Health Law

Public health law has a successful track record of improving health
around the world. Taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and sugary drinks are some

8.8 million people annually. Environmental laws and emission-mitigation
policies like carbon taxes have the capacity to curb these deaths. In a
