Dear John,
Health Affairs Scholar follows a continuous publication model, meaning articles become freely available online as "advance articles" as soon as they are ready.
On October 18, an article recently published as an advance article was cited in written testimony for a congressional Budget Committee hearing.
The paper, written by Nikhil Sahni, Pranay Gupta, Michael Peterson, and David Cutler, outlines steps to reduce administrative spending associated with financial transactions in US health care ([link removed] ) .

Health Affairs Scholar Issue 4 Highlights
Issue 4 of Health Affairs Scholar features two editor’s choice papers:
Lauren A. Taylor and coauthors explore a prominent defense of nonprofit hospitals: contract failure theory or the “signaling defense,” ([link removed] ) which suggests that people are more likely to trust nonprofits than for-profits in markets defined by large information asymmetries.
The authors find little evidence that hospitals' nonprofit status influenced Americans' decisions about where to seek care, suggesting that the value of nonprofit hospitals should not be primarily attributed to their ability to signal greater trustworthiness to the public.
The second editor’s choice paper examines the ability of the employer-sponsored insurance system in the United States, particularly in small firms, to pay for life-altering gene therapies ([link removed] ) .
The study shows that private group insurance financing for cost-effective gene therapies is viable and competitively necessary across the labor market, regardless of group size.
However, the authors caution that continual growth of stop-loss premiums could impact the long-term resilience of the system.

For our October issue on Tackling Structural Racism in Health, we were excited to include a Narrative Matters piece ([link removed] ) by Ryan J. Petteway.
In his poem, proc prun / roses, Petteway “engages poetry as praxis to reflect on matters of (mis)representation, procedural justice, and epistemic justice within public health knowledge production on place-based racial health inequities.”
For the Issue Briefing held on October 3, he shared his poem ([link removed] ) .
Learn more about what inspired Petteway to write this poem in an accompanying Forefront interview with the poet ([link removed] ) .
