The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Monday, June 21, 2021

Dear John,

Don't miss Katie Keith's newest piece on the Supreme Court's decision
on the most recent major challenge to the Affordable Care Act
.

Medicare Beneficiaries With Disabilities Face Barriers To Care

Despite making up 15.2 percent of the Medicare population and 20.5
percent of program expenditures, Medicare beneficiaries with
disabilities face disproportionate challenges in accessing care.

Kenton Johnston and coauthors assessed differences in realized access to
ambulatory versus acute care. They found that beneficiaries with
disabilities have greater difficulty accessing ambulatory care

and lower rates of actual evaluation and management visits than their
nondisabled peers.

Please welcome our first Podcast Fellowship cohort. Three groups of
fellows were chosen to participate in our inaugural Podcast Fellowship.

* Lalita Abhyankar will explore the
issues and challenges independent primary care practices face today

* Sania Ali and Avni Kulkarni
will unpack
emergency department boarding with a focus on mental health

* Jared Downing will dive
into health policy and climate change

The fellows will work over the summer and fall to produce a podcast
season, which we anticipate to air in late 2021 or early 2022. We are
very excited to hear and share their stories.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Katie Keith explains the Supreme Court's
conclusion that the plaintiffs in the most recent major challenge to the
Affordable Care Act
,
California v. Texas, did not have standing to bring the case.

Also, Amanda Goorin and coauthors discuss how a combination of clinical,
workplace, and policy interventions

could help people with moderate mental illnesses participate fully in
the workforce.

Elevating Voices: Pride Month: In a 2017 blog, Tara McKay and Gilbert
Gonzales argue, "All researchers who engage in original data collection
have immense power to include sexual orientation and gender identity

measures in their work as standard practice."
