Monday, September 25, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Dear John,
ICYMI, Aditi Sen of the Health Care Cost Institute joined A Health Podyssey to discuss her recent paper that suggests that employers lack leverage to negotiate lower health care prices.
Tran and colleagues find that "heterosexual and gay/lesbian adults in families with incomes below 200 percent of poverty were least likely to be enrolled in an HDHP compared with higher-income heterosexual and gay/lesbian adults."
They also find that among adults enrolled in HDHPs, "sexual minority adults experienced greater financial barriers than their heterosexual peers," even after adjusting for socioeconomic characteristics and health status.
