Dear John,

Watch out for a new Health Affairs Health Policy Brief
this Friday. Michael Esposito and
coauthors dive into the negative mental and physical health outcomes
associated with aggressive policing.

April Book Reviews

The April 2021 issue of Health Affairs features reviews of three books
covering the topics of disability rights activism, epidemic response,
and the value of human lives.

Lisa I. Iezzoni reviewed Being Heumann, a memoir by Judy Heumann
.
Heumann, a well-known disability rights activist, chronicles her fights
to get an education and become a teacher, the 1977 protest she led that
forced the Carter administration to provide people with disability equal
access to federal programs, and her later work with the Clinton and
Obama administrations.

Iezzoni's recent paper about physicians' perceptions of people with
disability

has gained significant media and policy attention since its publication
in February 2021.

Health Affairs' Senior Deputy Editor, Sarah B. Dine, reviewed John
Fabian Witt's American Contagions
.
In the book, Witt describes the two basic pathways of response to
epidemics among the US and other modern nation states and explores our
current circumstances in light of twentieth-century court decisions. He
closes with the accusation that our legal system has failed us.

Britni Wilcher reviewed Ultimate Price by Howard Steven Friedman
,
a book about how economists, financial analysts, regulators, and
statisticians assign value to human lives. "Friedman aptly illustrates
that human price tags are intimately linked to the broader evolution of
the environment; criminal justice system; time and financial investments
in education, fertility, health, and life insurance; and political
investments in new regulations or wars," writes Wilcher.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Kushal T. Kadakia and Anand Shah outline
how the operational and regulatory structures developed during COVID-19
represent a scalable model to accelerate biomedical innovation for
antimicrobial resistance
.
Also, Victor R. Fuchs argues that a system of competing, capitated plans
offering comprehensive care

is the most promising vehicle for the United States to reform its health
care system and control health care spending.
