I am pleased to share my list of the “top ten” articles we published in 2023. I use this list to showcase Health Affairs articles that I find particularly important or unique and that deserve another look.
It’s hard enough to select just ten articles, and it would be impossible to rank them, so they are listed in their order of publication.
I invite readers to read the pieces listed below—we are making them freely available to all readers for 48 hours.
Also, check out our ten most-read articles from 2023, which are freely available until 8:00 AM ET tomorrow.
And if you haven’t already, I encourage you to subscribe to Health Affairs for unlimited access to these articles and the entire Health Affairs archive.
Happy reading, and thank you for helping to make 2023 a great year at Health Affairs.
