The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

November 21, 2021
Dear John,

Read on for highlights from Health Affairs this week.
What's New In Health Affairs
This week on Health Affairs Blog, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure and Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) Director Daniel Tsai discussed their proactive policy agenda for CMCS, which focuses on three key areas: Coverage and Access, Equity, and Innovation and Whole-Person Care.

In a new GrantWatch post, Sophie Wheelock and coauthors wrote about the New York State Health Foundation's discussion with staff at New York City's health department about applying COVID-19 vaccination lessons to 2021–22 seasonal flu vaccinations.

And Katie Keith discussed CMS' first weekly update of the 2022 open enrollment period, noting that enrollment remains strong, presumably driven by continued enhanced subsidies under the American Rescue Plan Act.


Two new podcasts were released this week: A Health Podyssey with Alan Weil and Sabrina Poon on Medicare's Two-Midnight rule, and This Week on what's in store for the ACA in the Supreme Court.
