Julia Arnsten, MD (ELAM '13) chief of the Division of General Internal Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Health System, wrote an opinion piece in STAT warning that a health care disparity is emerging around access to medical cannabis, as poorer people struggle to obtain the newly legalized treatment. "It's time to advocate for a new federal classification for cannabis, so insurance companies can cover it, just as they cover the costs of drugs to treat cancer, diabetes, and other diseases. At the same time, we need to consider subsidies or discounts for low-income patients and expand the number of licensed dispensaries for medical cannabis," Dr. Arnsten wrote.
