SUMMARY:Seminar with Dr. Katherine Hemsptead on History of Health Insurance
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our next Rutgers Institute for Health Brown Bag Seminar with Dr. Katherine Hempstead\, Senior Policy Adviser at Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Dr. Hempstead will discuss her new book: Uncovered: The Story of Insurance in America. \nPlease join us in Conference Room 102 at IFH: 112 Paterson Street in New Brunswick. A Zoom link is below for those joining virtually. \nAbout Katherine: Katherine Hempstead is a senior policy adviser at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. She works on healthcare issues\, mostly those related to health insurance\, costs\, and access to care. In her work in the policy unit\, she seeks to inform policy discussions at the federal and state level by making data and analyses widely available. She is particularly interested making new sources of data that have the potential to inform policy available to researchers and the public sector. \nAbout Uncovered: This book is a history of the insurance business and the regulation of that business in the United States. It begins by describing the early days of life\, fire\, and casualty insurance and the development of state regulation in the late nineteenth century\, after a Supreme Court ruling exempted the insurance business from federal regulation. From the outset\, insurers adopted a quasi-public persona\, emphasized the social benefits of their work\, and sought to control the terms by which they interacted with government. Early political leaders agreed that insurers played an important role in the largely voluntary social safety net. Yet insurance is a business\, and over time\, periodic crises in life\, fire\, health\, auto\, and liability insurance highlighted gaps between the coverage that insurers were willing to provide and what the public demanded. The Depression was an inflection point\, after which the federal government began to assume a greater role in the provision of insurance. Insurers enthusiastically pursued the growing business of employee benefits. A Supreme Court decision in 1944 created an opportunity to undo the state-based system\, but Congress instead chose to preserve the status quo. Yet there are significant constraints on the ability of state regulators to solve important problems in insurance markets\, as was made clear by cyclical problems in auto and property markets. As the twentieth century progressed\, insurers and government have become interdependent; government serves as a financial backstop and relies on the insurance industry to participate in markets\, including many that are publicly funded. \n\n\n\nMeeting URL:\nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/j/92258613395?pwd=zci3OTWQQrnywhw9KY7jlp6bqxeGTX.1&from=addon\n\n\nMeeting ID:\n922 5861 3395\n\n\nPassword:\n807965

SUMMARY:Seminar with Dr. David Rosner on History of Disease in US
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our next Rutgers Institute for Health Brown Bag Seminar with Dr. David Rosner\, Ronald H. Lauterstein Professor of Sociomedical Sciences & Professor of History at Columbia University. Dr. Rosner will be discussing his new book\, Building the Worlds that Kill Us: Disease\, Death and Inequality in American History (Columbia University Press\, 2024). \nPlease join us in Conference Room 120 at IFH: 112 Paterson Street in New Brunswick. A Zoom link is below for those joining virtually. \nAbout David Rosner: David Rosner\, PhD\, MPH\, focuses on research at the intersection of public health and social history and the politics of occupational disease and industrial pollution. He has been actively involved in lawsuits on behalf of cities\, states and communities around the nation who are trying to hold the lead\, asbestos and chemical industry accountable for past acts that have resulted in tremendous damage to America’s children. Cases aimed at removing lead from children’s environments\, removing PCBs from state waterways\, and asbestos suits aimed at providing funds for remediation and compensation for victims of environmental and occupational disease have grown out of his academic work. His work on the history of industry understanding the harms done by their industrial toxins has been part of law suits on behalf of asbestos workers and silicosis victims as well. \nAbout Building the Worlds that Kill Us: Across American history\, the question of whose lives are long and healthy and whose lives are short and sick has always been shaped by the social and economic order. From the dispossession of Indigenous people and the horrors of slavery to infectious diseases spreading in overcrowded tenements and the vast environmental contamination caused by industrialization\, and through climate change and pandemics in the twenty-first century\, those in power have left others behind. \nThrough the lens of death and disease\, Building the Worlds That Kill Us provides a new way of understanding the history of the United States from the colonial era to the present. David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz demonstrate that the changing rates and kinds of illnesses reflect social\, political\, and economic structures and inequalities of race\, class\, and gender. These deep inequities determine the disparate health experiences of rich and poor\, Black and white\, men and women\, immigrant and native-born\, boss and worker\, Indigenous and settler. This book underscores that powerful people and institutions have always seen some lives as more valuable than others\, and it emphasizes how those who have been most affected by the disparities in rates of disease and death have challenged and changed these systems. Ultimately\, this history shows that unequal outcomes are a choice―and we can instead collectively make decisions that foster life and health. \n\n\n\nMeeting URL:\nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/j/93133644300?pwd=og7lNI2dfMzv5fkyPbdwTz3oL96yke.1&from=addon\n\n\nMeeting ID:\n931 3364 4300\n\n\nPassword:\n717694

He engages in implementation research projects in Rwanda and Haiti to address global inequities in breast cancer care. Originally from Nigeria\, Dr. Fadelu moved to the U.S. for his undergraduate education at Baylor University. He earned his medical degree from Yale University School of Medicine and completed his training in internal medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He then moved to Rwanda to serve as clinical and programmatic implementation lead for an oncology program based at the Butaro Cancer Center of Excellence in rural northern Rwanda\, where he coordinated several major initiatives including the implementation of pathology and palliative care services. He subsequently completed his fellowship training in medical oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute\, during which he also earned a master’s in public health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. \n\n\n\nMeeting URL:\nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/j/92592408334?pwd=znb09XqATHhOmAKAgi1yK2I4ayyFEm.1&from=addon\n\n\nMeeting ID:\n925 9240 8334\n\n\nPassword:\n975655
