Dear John,

Disparities In COVID-19 Mortality Rates

**** In an ahead-of-print article released today, Sarah Miller and
coauthors provide new research on how COVID-19 mortality in the US
varied

by socioeconomic characteristics, race, and ethnicity during the
beginning of the pandemic.

The authors found particularly large increases in mortality among adults
living in correctional facilities or in health care-related group
quarters, those without health insurance coverage, those with family
incomes below the federal poverty level, and those in occupations with
limited work-from-home options.  

"Black people in the highest income group experienced an increase of
mortality more than 3.5 times larger than the increase in mortality
experienced by the poorest White people," they reported.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Tim Gronniger and coauthors argue that
Congress has an opportunity to harness the significant energy behind
payment reform

and channel it into clear and strong payment incentives for providers.

In a new GrantWatch post, Patty Fong discusses how to connect the dots
between health crises and food systems transformation
.
