About the Health Care Special Issue
This special issue of the Journal of Vincentian Social Action seeks contributions dedicated to Health Care and Social Justice. With the many questions being raised about Pharma, Health Care Insurers, Hospital Managers, as well as the future of the ACA, Medicaid, and Medicare, there are many issues that particularly affect the poor, elderly, and marginalized members of society.
The challenges are many, and therefore for this special issue we welcome the submission of manuscripts that address topics of concern associated with the plight of the poor in health care acquisition, the ethical question and moral obligation of providing health care to non-citizens, why prescription drugs are so expensive (the PBMs, patent extensions, exploitation of regulations that hurt the consumer, etc.), the opioid crisis, and many others.
If you have questions concerning the content for this special issue, please contact Dr. Robert A. Mangione (mangionr@stjohns.edu).
