Position:

Puerto Rico has a population whose demographic is growing old. With increased life expectancy also comes public health challenges. In addition, the island has just experienced a third recent disaster, which adds to the COVID-19 pandemic that still persists. Puerto Rico’s health model is one where public money goes to a system of private insurers, which requires greater scrutiny. This reporter focuses on the health system coverage and science topics.
