Sunday, December 17, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, and News from Health Affairs

Dear John,

Heads up! We have an exciting edition of Health Affairs Insider Journal Club ([link removed] ) meeting next week.

On December 19, please join author Ashley Fox, an associate professor at the University at Albany, SUNY, for a detailed discussion on her paper about the substantial disparities in COVID-19 vaccine uptakes and unmet immunization demands in low- and middle-income countries.

Micah Hartman and colleagues at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), including the National Health Expenditure Accounts Team, released their 2022 health care spending report ([link removed] ) this week.

The team finds that health care spending in the US grew 4.1 percent from 2021, reaching $4.5 trillion in 2022, which is a faster rate of growth than in 2021, but slower than 2020.

They determine that the rate of growth has become more consistent with the prepandemic average annual growth rate of 4.4 percent.

Among other findings, they determine that the health share of GDP returned to a nearly prepandemic level in 2022, although this result was partly influenced by economywide inflation.

In 2022, the insured share of the population reached 92.0 percent (a historic high), as private health insurance and Medicaid enrollment continued to experience strong growth.
