Bea speaks with Salonee Bhaman about how struggles over housing and healthcare were linked in the early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in New York, and what lessons we can draw from this history for single payer, long covid, and more.

Death Panel 419 Moral Hazard and the Dustbin of Public Interest w/ Salonee Bhaman (03/23/23)

Moral Hazard and the Dustbin of Public Interest w/ Salonee Bhaman (03/23/23)

Earlier this month we collaborated with the organizers the Socialism Conference to put together five sessions at this year’s conference on the political economy of health and disability. Each of these sessions is live now for patrons, and we'll be posting one a day in the main feed, all week.

Session Description: The healthcare struggles of the last century have been profoundly shaped by the structures of US federalism: what resources are allocated to states, and what artificial constraints are imposed on them that produce policy in the mold of austerity? Political scientist and Death Panel podcast co-host Philip Rocco is joined by historians Gabriel Winant and Salonee Bhaman to discuss how fiscal decentralization has become an underappreciated force driving the healthcare politics of the United States, and what it can tell us about where we are now. Gabriel Winant will participate in this session remotely.
