Medicaid Expansion Reduced Catastrophic Charges
In a paper published in the August 2021 issue, Benjamin Albright and
coauthors estimated the potential reduction in uninsured surgical
hospitalizations
and associated catastrophic charges in states that have yet to expand
Medicaid if they had actually expanded the program.
The authors found there is a 99.0 percent risk of catastrophic charges
with uninsured surgical hospitalization and that Medicaid expansion is
associated with significant reductions in both the share and the
population rate of uninsured surgical hospitalizations.
Their findings suggested that 51,622 incidences of catastrophic charges
could have been prevented by expanding Medicaid in the fifteen
non-expansion states in 2019 alone.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Claire O'Hanlon and coauthors argue that
without rigorous evaluation it will be impossible to distinguish
transformational mobile health apps
from scams.
In a sponsored post by McKinsey & Company, Stephanie Carlton and
colleagues share insights on the "public option
."
