Abstract

The US lacks a robust pandemic prevention framework. Travis Bean offers an account of pandemic history in America to argue that the COVID-19 pandemic should provide an impetus for constitutional amendment that raises the profile and importance of healthcare more generally. For a pandemic response amendment to pass, a strong media campaign, bipartisan legislative backing, and popular support would be needed. Although difficult to achieve, it may be necessary.
