Thrilled to share my new article with @emilythorson.bsky.social has been published @jhppl.bsky.social. While we found null effects of healthcare experiences on policy attitudes, it’s worth considering how this may shift as negative insurance experiences become more salient in public discourse.

Open-access scholarly piece in @jhppl.bsky.social about RFK's assault on public health institutions by @pamherd.bsky.social read.dukeupress.edu/jhppl/articl...
The Trump administration is restructuring federal health agencies to implement a new policy agenda. Central to this agenda is the Make America Healthy Again movement, which prioritizes individual solutions to broader public health problems, disregards science and scientific institutions, and aligns closely with the “wellness” industry. While it is normal for each administration to establish its own public health priorities, previous administrations did not dismantle existing institutions to do so. In contrast, this administration is consolidating power and actively politicizing the federal health bureaucracy, undermining scientific expertise and agency independence in the process. These changes are likely to have lasting impacts on both federal health agencies and public health that will extend well beyond the current administration.
