Rich Priore Believes Investing in Public Health Can Bring Things Around Once PHE Expires
Rich Priore, Sc.D., M.H.A., a clinical associate professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at Tulane University, said if Americans invested in health prevention and wellness, fewer would be in hospitals and the cost of care would lower.
Rich Priore, Sc.D., M.H.A., a clinical associate professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at Tulane University, expressed that if Americans invest in health prevention and wellness, less would be in hospitals and the cost of care would lower.
When asked if he agrees with President Biden on declaring the expiration of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, Priore said he did from a financial standpoint. According to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, the country is $31 trillion in debt. The country is running out of capital and the Biden administration doesn't have the ability to continue funding the PHE any longer. However, hospitals and patients will be suffering the most.
Hospitals will need more funding eventually as the COVID crisis continues and those with chronic conditions continue to be at risk today, he said. If more Americans can invest in public health, more than money will be saved in the end.
