Extrinsic Incentives, Intrinsic Motivation, and Motivational Crowding-Out in Health Law and Policy

Abstract Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the most dramatic pandemic of the new millennium, and extraordinary measures concerning with health, law and policy are required around the world. One of these is without doubts the “green pass”, officially known in the European Union (EU) as EU Digital COVID Certificate (EUDCC). Initially conceived as a tool for overcoming the lockdown restrictions, it has unexpectedly turned into a means of discrimination between pass holders and non-holders, thus increasing social tension at the expense of solidarity and brotherhood. Here, we analyze in depth the dark sides of the “green pass” in the light of the European and international legislation and of the ongoing pandemic scenario.

The Eu

The first chapter outlines that most national health laws assume a special connection between health law and policy and fundamental rights and values. The denial or approval of authorization of a specific controversial medication, or the payment for health care in a Member State other than the home state of insurance—and many of the other questions and issues that are addressed in the EU with regard to human health—illustrate that the involvement of the EU in human health can also involve controversial questions, where fundamental rights, bioethical issues, regulatory problems, and redistributive choices may intertwine. This calls into question the power the EU has in this regard, particularly if we take into consideration that human health law and policy are often seen in light of a special reciprocal relationship with fundamental rights and values. Infringements of fundamental rights can harm human health, for instance in cases of torture, or discrimination against people with a particular disease such as HIV/AIDS or mental disorders. At the same time health policy can affect fundamental rights, such as when obligatory vaccination programmes or quarantines are ordered. Hence fundamental rights and values form a benchmark for analysing the legitimacy of health policy. The specific values and rights that are internal to health law set the agenda for this book.

Shed Light

AbstractCOVID-19-related controversies concerning the allocation of scarce resources, travel restrictions, and physical distancing norms each raise a foundational question: How should authority, and thus responsibility, over healthcare and public health law and policy be allocated? Each controversy raises principles that support claims by traditional wielders of authority in “federal” countries, like federal and state governments, and less traditional entities, like cities and sub-state nations. No existing principle divides “healthcare and public law and policy” into units that can be allocated in intuitively compelling ways. This leads to puzzles concerning (a) the principles for justifiably allocating “powers” in these domains and (b) whether and how they change during “emergencies.” This work motivates the puzzles, explains why resolving them should be part of long-term responses to COVID-19, and outlines some initial COVID-19-related findings that shed light on justifiable authority allocation, emergencies, emergency powers, and the relationships between them.

Mental health law in Colombia has evolved over the past 50 years, in concert with worldwide recognition and prioritisation of mental healthcare. Laws and policies have become increasingly sophisticated to accommodate the ongoing transformations throughout Colombia's healthcare system and improvements in mental health screening, treatment and supportive care. Mental health law and policy development have been informed by epidemiological data on patterns of mental disorders in Colombia. Colombia is distinguished by the fact that its mental health laws and policies have been formulated during a 60-year period of continuous armed conflict. The mental health of Colombian citizens has been affected by population-wide exposure to violence and, accordingly, the mental health laws that have been enacted reflect this feature of the Colombian experience.
