What's New In Health Affairs

[link removed]

In an ahead-of-print article released this week, 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.

On Tuesday, Health Affairs hosted the second of two July issue
briefings. "Immigrant Health: Evidence & Policy Issues
"
focused on effects of recent US immigration policy on health care,
coverage, and outcomes for immigrants in the United States.

Featured authors presented their research published in the July issue,
Borders, Immigrants, and Health
.

A video of the briefing is available on our website
.
(Also see our first July issue briefing, focused on border health
.)

On Health Affairs Blog, Brian Blase, an assistant to the president at
the White House's National Economic Council from January 2017 through
June 2019, argued that, without proper context, the claim that 31
million Americans were enrolled in coverage

under the Affordable Care Act is misleading.

New to health policy? Download the Health Policy Handbook.

The Alliance for Health Policy announces the publication of the Health
Policy Handbook, a new resource for members of the health policy and
public health communities.

The document was organized in partnership with Health Affairs and made
possible with generous support from Arnold Ventures.

Written, reviewed, and edited by a cadre of experienced health policy
experts, the handbook is designed to serve as a primer for
congressional, executive branch, and support agency staff; journalists;
and others who are interested in a quick-study of the key foundations of
health policy. This new "desk reference" streamlines trending topics in
health policy into six, easy-to-read chapters.
