The COVID-19 pandemic exposes deep flaws in the health system, according to a new essay by IU McKinney Professor Nicolas Terry in the Journal of Law and the Biosciences.
The essay examines the growth in the uninsured population in the United States, the magnified importance of Medicaid and the problems inherent in relying on “private actors.”

His recent scholarship has dealt with health privacy, mobile health, the Internet of Things, Big Data, AI, and the opioid overdose epidemic.
Professor Terry serves on Indiana University’s Grand Challenges Scientific Leadership Team, working on the addictions crisis. In that capacity he recently testified on opioids policy before the Senate Committee on Aging. He is one of the permanent bloggers at Harvard Law School’s Bill of Health. He regularly hosts the “The Week in Health Law” podcast at TWIHL.com, and he is @nicolasterry on twitter.
