The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Friday, August 20, 2021
Dear John,
In an August article in Health Affairs, authors examined how political
determinants like democratic quality inform universal health coverage
and health spending.
Democracy And Universal Coverage
Despite the intentionally identified importance of universal health
coverage-as emphasized by its inclusion in the UN Sustainable
Development Goals-progress on achieving this goal worldwide has been
uneven.
Examining three decades of data from 170 countries, Tara Templin and
coauthors considered how democratic and autocratic values inform
universal health coverage and health spending
.
The authors found a positive association between democratic quality and
universal health care coverage, a relationship strongest in low-income
countries. The relationship even held amid economic downturns, with
democracies more likely than autocracies to maintain universal coverage
when access to affordable health services matters most.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Simon Haeder argues for expanding funding
for school-based health centers
given the essential role they will play in the rollout of COVID-19
vaccines for children.
Michael Alkire and coauthors discuss why COVID-19 was a wake-up call
that real change is necessary across the supply chain IT ecosystem
-beginning
with access to robust and timely data.

On today's episode of This Week, editors discuss the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
