The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Monday, April 5, 2021
Dear John,
The April 2021 edition of Health Affairs covers a variety of topics
about access to and quality of care, the Affordable Care Act, health
spending, and more. Read it here.
Inside the Issue: Access, ACA, Spending & More
Our latest journal issue includes research on some of Health Affairs'
most popular topics: access to Medicare and Medicaid, the Affordable
Care Act's impact on coverage and outcomes, the effects of various
policies on health spending, and much more.
Not sure where to start? Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil has a preview of the
issue
.
You can also check out our April table of contents
to see everything in this edition.
In one study
,
Eric Roberts and coauthors found that Medicare isn't benefiting all
enrollees equally. Beneficiaries with incomes exceeding the eligibility
thresholds for Medicaid and Medicare Part D subsidies are estimated to
face more than $2,200 in additional out-of-pocket costs over two years
and are more likely to incur catastrophic medical bills.
In another study
,
Adam Biener and colleagues reveal the cost of out-of-network emergency
department visits: Patients who likely received a surprise
out-of-network bill for emergency care paid physicians ten times more
out of pocket than patients receiving in-network emergency care.
Emily Johnston and coauthors examined the effect of Medicaid expansion
on low-income pregnant women. Their findings show that, in states that
didn't expand coverage, half of women with prenatal Medicaid coverage
experienced a period without insurance in the weeks before or after
birth. In states that did expand Medicaid, only one in five lost
insurance during the perinatal period.

importance of including community-based care workers on maternal
mortality review committees
