    Resilience and Realignment:  Preventing Global Infectious Disease with AVAC’s Mitchell Warren 
    May 1 2025
    Mitchell Warren, AVAC's Executive Director, joins Ben to scope out a forward-looking infectious disease prevention strategy. It is urgently needed, amidst political and economic turmoil caused by the dismantling of US aid and declines in funding from European donors. With HIV as the poster child of what once was global health solidarity, it is an opportunity for a resurgent and resilient Global South to take the reins and set priorities in how to deploy new biomedical innovations, and protecting the rights of communities affected by HIV and other pandemics. Ben and Mitchell also delve into the various legal actions the public health community is taking against the current US administration's executive orders, asking the question - how to we prep for prevention at home and internationally? 00:00 Introduction and Current Challenges in Global Health 01:09 Welcoming Mitchell Warren and AVAC's Mission 01:43 The Evolution of HIV Prevention and AVAC's Role 03:17 Current Frustrations and Challenges in HIV Prevention 05:15 The Promise and Challenges of Lenacapavir 08:03 The Importance of Choice in HIV Prevention 10:22 Navigating Funding and Policy Obstacles 12:43 The Role of Donors and Ministries in HIV Prevention 14:56 The Urgency of Lenacapavir Approval and Implementation 20:52 Sustainability and Future Planning in Global Health 25:44 Legal Battle Against Government Orders 26:50 Temporary Restraining Order and Its Implications 27:14 Government's Slow Compliance and Ongoing Legal Struggles 28:38 Public Record and Whistleblower Revelations 30:56 Impact on American Influence and Global Health 33:45 Diplomacy and Foreign Assistance 35:04 Consequences of Policy Changes 40:01 Future Strategies and Targets for Global Health 45:51 Music and Reflections on Democracy 48:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 💬 Join the Conversation How do you see the future of global health unfolding?

    Kennedy vs. Braidwood: ACA Free Prevention Services Go Back to the Supreme Court
    Apr 19 2025
    In this episode of A Shot in the Arm podcast, Ben Plumley discusses an ongoing potentially highly significant legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act with Eric Waskowicz, Senior Policy Manager at the United States of Care. The case involves a small group of employers in Texas seeking to eliminate mandates for free preventative services, positing both constitutional issues and religious objections. Eric explains the potential widespread impacts on access to healthcare if the Supreme Court rules against the ACA provisions. He emphasizes the importance of no-cost preventative services and the economic and social benefits of maintaining them. The conversation also highlights continued bipartisan support - even from the Trump administration - for these measures and the role of state-level advocacy in preserving access to comprehensive healthcare. 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast 00:17 The Curious Case of Legal Action in the US 01:04 Introducing Eric Kovi and United States of Care 04:49 Background on the Affordable Care Act and Preventive Services 06:46 The Impact of the Supreme Court Case 15:39 Mobilizing Support and Advocacy 22:49 Eric Kovi's Career Journey 27:22 Call to Action and Conclusion 💬 Join the Conversation How do you see the future of global health unfolding?
