Hey #Econtwitter I'm looking for some health related policies that have been implemented in the US that my Health Economics class can present a policy brief on. Bonus points if you have a paper on said policy that I can use as reference for their readings!

I am pleased to introduce myself as the new Editor-in-Chief for Health Economics. I am succeeding Sally Stearns, who has provided outstanding leadership to the journal and is retiring this year.  The Board and I wish Sally great happiness for the future as we take up the baton.

Submission deadline July 15 for a small workshop on the impacts of the opiate epidemic to be held at West Virginia University in October (best time of year, fall foliage and such). We have some funding available (thanks to @Arnold_Ventures) to cover hotel stays and offset travel.
