Health Law, HIV/AIDS Policy and Disability Rights in the New Administration
Jeff Crowley, the White House Director of National AIDS Policy and Senior Advisor on Disability Policy, visited Harvard Law School to speak about the Obama Administration’s agendas for health reform, developing a national AIDS strategy, addressing health disparities, and disability rights. Mr. Crowley addressed the issue of health reform, noting that it dominates the Obama Administration’s domestic agenda. He said the Administration’s perspective is that “we can’t get our economy back on track unless we take on the health reform issue.” Mr. Crowley stated that support for health care reform is currently gaining ground in the political and national debate.
