The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Tuesday, August 31, 2021
Dear John,
As part of Health Affairs' Back-To-School Essentials picks, Katie
Keith shares her recommended essential content for students.
Katie Keith's Back-To-School Essentials
Today kicks off a three-day series in which we are sharing Health
Affairs' "Back-To-School Essentials." Each day we will promote content
for future health policy experts learning the field's ropes.
Today, our recommended essentials come from Katie Keith, an adjunct
professor at the Georgetown University Law Center and contributing
editor at Health Affairs, who is focused on the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) and health reform.
If you're a regular reader of Health Affairs Blog, you know I read. A
lot-on all things Affordable Care Act. On the occasion that my
professional reading isn't crowding out my personal reading, here are
a few of my recent favorite reads or podcast episodes:
The Ten Year War: Obamacare and the Unfinished Crusade for Universal
Coverage by Jonathan Cohn
An obvious choice, I know. But how could this incredible political
history of the ACA not make the list? If you won't take my word for
it, check out this
review
from my mentor and friend Tim Jost, who called Cohn's book "the most
readable and comprehensive history of the ACA yet available."
The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper
Together
by Heather McGhee
I am admittedly still working my way through Heather McGhee's tour de
force on the costs of racism and inequality in America. Access to health
care (or rather the lack thereof) is featured throughout the book, and
McGhee seamlessly weaves data and research into her own story and the
stories of people all across the country in this must-read book.
The Ezra Klein Show: "This Conversation Will Change How You Think About
Thinking
"
with Annie Murphy Paul
I'm not much of a podcast listener (except for A Health Podyssey
and Tradeoffs , of course!) but I loved this
recent episode of The Ezra Klein Show featuring science writer Annie
Murphy Paul. Paul explains that our brain is not a machine. Listen and
you'll learn why I have my camera off so I can walk during a meeting
or occasionally fidget while speaking on panels.
In Defense of Troublemakers: The Power of Dissent in Life and Business
by Charlan Nemeth
I picked up this book after reading a review saying that it was
okay-and even great!-to (nicely) rock the boat at work and at home.
Through her research on group dynamics, Nemeth provides a unique
perspective on how dissent can lead to better decisions and should be
encouraged among leaders.
Rethinking Race in Medicine: ACOG Removes a Race-Based Cutoff for Anemia
in Pregnancy
by Michele Cohen Marill
I have read and reread this powerful Health Affairs Blog post
and often share it with the physicians in my life. It is a stark
reminder of how bias is built into the very fabric of the practice of
medicine-and what medical societies can and should be doing to address
historic and persistent racism in health care.
In addition to Katie Keith's reading list, we encourage students to
review a policy insight by Jonathan Oberlander in our March 2020 theme
issue, The ACA Turns 10
. Oberlander explores
why theACA has been so divisive
despite its considerable accomplishments.
Also, look out for an upcoming Health Affairs Lunch And Learn featuring
Katie Keith. At this free virtual event, she and editor Chris Fleming
will discuss how to break down ACA legislation.
Lastly, take advantage of the Health Affairs Student Subscription
Rate! Students can unlock all of
our peer-reviewed articles and much more at a reduced rate. Prices start
at $81 for an online-only subscription.
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Katie Keith discusses the August 26
letter from the state of Georgia to federal officials at the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rejecting CMS's request
for updated actuarial and economic analyses of the baseline for
Georgia's approved waiver under Section 1332 of the ACA.
Ãmit KartoÄlu from Extensio et Progressio discusses how vaccine
wastage
can be minimized in immunization programs.
Beverly Green and Laura-Mae Baldwin argue that requiring states and
health plans to track Medicaid colorectal cancer screening rates
is the first step toward improving screening disparities.
