Holes in the Safety Net: A Case Study of Access to Prescription Drugs and Specialty Care

Entrepreneurship, as applied here, involves helping students develop an entrepreneurial mindset by working in a university-supported startup that lacks the artificiality of a simulation or the safety net of heavy financial subsidization. This article chronicles an organizational-wide change at a private Midwestern university and the development of a new “artifact”—the dynamic case study—to complement a new approach to business and entrepreneurial education. After reviewing the function of case studies in a teaching and research context, I consider this new kind of case study as a boundary object and means for making sense of early stage entrepreneurial activity.

The Way

This chapter presents a case study based on the experience of the Northern Virginia Health Foundation (NVHF). The NVHF was created twelve years ago and was created to improve the health and health care of the residents of Northern Virginia, with a particular emphasis on those of low income and the uninsured. The chapter shows how despite being a small foundation, over the years, NVHF has made significant investments in the health care safety net. However, despite this, low-income residents in the area continue to face considerable challenges. The chapter makes some general conclusions based on this experience: cross-sector collaboration is difficult and, in many instances, expensive. But the return on investment is potentially strong. The direction should be creative and focused.

June July

This article focuses on the legal provisions of Directive 2014/49 on deposit guarantee schemes (the DGS Directive) and focuses on how the national schemes financially support each another by offering a critical analysis to demonstrate that the new legal framework is far from satisfactory. This is because the new ‘safety net’, still hinged on depositors' protections schemes that operate at the national level, is fettered by the quantitative limits and legal constraints of mutual borrowing. This ultimately still leaves the EU/EEA depositors with an element of uncertainty. This contribution also seeks to illustrate that the recent mass withdrawal from bank deposits in Greece (in June/July 2015) was an unsuccessful test case for the new legislation, which was ironically already in force at the time the crisis unfolded. This case study of Greece is coupled with the important Landslaki dictum which is given equal attention in this article. Together they give significant credibility to the view that the DGS Directive, seemingly not fully aware of the lessons to be learnt from the 2011 Eurozone crisis, is obsolete and should be amended as soon as possible.
