Join Health Affairs on Monday, July 12, from 1:30 to 3pm ET for a virtual event focused on health and health policy on both sides of the US-Mexico border. Featured authors will present their research published in the July issue.
• Ietza Bojorquez-Chapela and coauthors analyzed Mexican health policy documents to study the extent to which in-transit migrants and asylum seekers were considered in the country’s COVID-19 response.
• Nicholas Cuneo and coauthors examined data about people seeking asylum in the US from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras who presented to a medical clinic in Boston.
• Rodrigo Dominguez-Villegas and Arturo Vargas Bustamante examined health insurance coverage of people born in Mexico who left and returned, either voluntarily or because they were deported.
• Elizabeth Pollock and colleagues calculated life expectancy by race and place for counties on the US side of the US-Mexico border.
Today on Health Affairs Blog, John Goodson and coauthors discuss potential negative effects of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ efforts to address distortions in Medicare physician payment favoring proceduralists.
