In a paper released this week ahead of the October issue, Perinatal Mental Health & More, Maeve Wallace and colleagues investigated the association between domestic violence–related firearm possession bans and relinquishment laws and reductions in pregnancy-associated homicide.

"States that had both prohibited firearm possession and required firearm relinquishment by people convicted of a domestic violence–related misdemeanor experienced 3.74 fewer deaths per 100,000 live births than would have been expected in the absence of either law," the authors found.

This week on Health Affairs Blog, Christopher Morten, Zain Rizvi, and Ameet Sarpatwari argued that President Biden should share the COVID-19 vaccine recipe with the World Health Organization—which has asked for it—and with vaccine manufacturers with whom the Department of Health and Human Services chooses to partner.

And Katie Keith discussed new data from HHS and CMS showing record-high effectuated enrollment through Marketplace coverage under the ACA.

You are invited to join us on Tuesday, September 28, for "Following the ACA: A Status Check," featuring Health Affairs Contributing Editor Katie Keith.

More than a decade since it was signed into law, the Affordable Care Act has been baked into every part of the health care system. The law has been a success on many measures, but its impact on other indicators—such as health care costs—is far from clear.

As Congress considers new ways to build upon the law, join us to learn more about the history of health reform, what it has meant for access to coverage and care, and what to expect next from Congress and the White House.

The session is intended to be highly interactive, and participants will interact directly with the speaker. Chris Fleming, Health Affairs blog editor, will moderate.

Date:    Tuesday, September 28, 2021
Time:    1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. (EDT)
Place:    Online details will be shared with registrants 24 hours in advance of the event
