August Issue Table of Contents

The August 2019 issue of Health Affairs examines the health systems that
serve 1.4 million active duty service members; provide care and coverage
for another 8.1 million reservists, retirees, and family members; and

(MHS) goes through a major restructuring, it also faces pressures and

and participate in a robust discussion on:

* The Role Of The Military Health System In Ensuring Readiness And
Supporting Skills For Battlefield Support; and

**A CLOSER LOOK**- Election 2020 | Rural Health

Health care has emerged as a top item of debate in the 2020 presidential
election campaign. Here at Health Affairs' A Closer Look, we'll
provide links to some of the background evidence and policy analysis
informing the candidates' positions.

Pete Buttigieg posted a plan this month on "Securing A Healthy Future
for Rural America" that cites a Health Affairs journal article on the
financial vulnerability of rural hospitals
due to
uncompensated care. It also cites Katy Kozhimannil's Health Affairs
Blog post on the missing voices
in
America's rural health narrative.
