Health Affairs

Dear John,

With the Air Quality Index being on the minds of many on the East Coast
this week, we want to surface a 2020 global health Forefront article
from Juliette Simpson McHardy and colleagues. The authors argue that air
pollution is a public health emergency
<[link removed]>.

Japan's Health Care Spending

In their newest Health Affairs Policy Insight, Naoki Ikegami and Thomas
Rice analyze Japanese expenditure data
<[link removed]>
as the percentage of its population ages sixty-five and older continues
to rise.

They argue that despite Japan's aging population and increased
spending on a public long-term care insurance program, the
government's fee schedule has effectively contained the country's
health care expenditures.

The fee schedule consists of revisions to pharmaceutical pricing and
incentives to provide coordinated primary and long-term care.

"Although the US population has not aged nearly as much or as quickly as
Japan's, the US future does not look very different than Japan's
recent past," assert Ikegami and Rice.

They outline what the US can learn from Japan and discuss the policy
implications of their findings.

During June, we're highlighting influential voices and organizations who
have made an impact on LGBTQ+ health equity and policy.

In a May 2023 Forefront article, John Auerbach and Claude Earl Fox
discuss the health of LGBTQ+ people
<[link removed]>
and the need to expand data collection to capture differences among
subpopulations, such as people of color or those with disabilities.

They also provide recommendations on how to advance LGBTQ+ health
equity, which is applicable to work being done both inside and outside
of the government.
