The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Tuesday, September 14, 2021
Dear John,
Articles in the most recent issue of Health Affairs cover a variety of
health equity topics ranging from the allocation of COVID-19 relief
funding to food insecurity among health care workers.
COVID-19 Relief, Food Insecurity & More
Several papers in the September 2021 issue cover health equity topics.
* Jason Buxbaum and Summer Rak analyzed the allocation of $178 billion
in federal COVID-19 relief
for hospitals and found that communities with a high share of Black
residents had higher levels of relief funding, but those with a high
share of Hispanic residents had lower levels.
* Mithuna Srinivasan and coauthors analyzed national survey data and
found high rates of food insecurity among health care workers
in the United States, with the highest rates among workers in nursing
homes and residential care facilities.
* Landon Hughes and coauthors used private insurance claims from 2001 to
2019 to determine that transgender people are at a greater risk
for morbidity than their cisgender counterparts and are at significantly
higher risk for several chronic cardiovascular and neurological
conditions.
* Adam Markovitz and colleagues found that Medicare Advantage (MA)
double bonuses
are not significantly associated with changes in quality performance or
changes in MA enrollment-the program's purported goals-and "Black
beneficiaries were substantially less likely to reside in counties
offered double bonuses than White beneficiaries."Â Â
* Jody Heymann and colleagues looked at the 1993 Family and Medical
Leave Act (FMLA), which provides job protection but no pay,
and found that "The FMLA's minimum hours requirement
disproportionately excludes women...while its tenure requirement
disproportionately excludes Black, Indigenous, and multiracial workers."
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Katie Keith and coauthors discuss the No
Surprises Act protections
,
which go into effect on January 1, 2022.
Merle Ederhof explains why we should standardize provider cost
measurement
