Dear John,

Join Health Affairs March 19 for a virtual event examining the potential policy and administrative changes surrounding the Medicaid program and what they may mean in terms of coverage, operations, and financing.

 Volume 3, Issue 2 of Health Affairs Scholar 

Health Affairs Scholar is pleased to announce that it will be publishing a paper series with the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER): “Insights from ICER: Drug Policy and Beyond”.  

ICER is an independent non-profit research organization that evaluates the evidence on the clinical and economic value of prescription drugs, medical tests, devices, and health system delivery innovations.

ICER’s work is widely disseminated and influential in policy decisions. The series will begin publishing later this year.

Volume 3, Issue 2 of Health Affairs Scholar explores Medicaid coverage in the postpartum period, the connection between income and well-being, sustainable approaches to antimicrobial resistance, health technology regulation, and more.
