Wendy Parmet, Matthews Distinguished University Professor of Law at Northeastern University and one of the great figures in contemporary health law & public health law and policy joins us to discuss her new book, co-authored with Patricia Illingworth, The Health of Newcomers: Immigration, Health Policy, and the Case for Global Solidarity, New York University Press (2017). This is a far-reaching piece of work looking at the interdependence of natives and newcomers across several health dimensions. Our discussion progresses into an old Pod favorite, “Docs and Glocks,” before ending with some observations on the current state of scientific knowledge regarding opioid interventions.
