This week we released the December issue of Health Affairs.

This month's journal covers topics ranging from hospitals and the health care workforce to health equity, pharmaceutical pricing, Medicare, Medicaid, and more.

In a paper that was highlighted in the New York Times this week,
Christopher Whaley and coauthors found that male physicians earn
approximately $2 million, or 25 percent, morethan female physicians over the course of a simulated forty-yearcareer.

This week on Health Affairs Blog, Katie Keith discusses the updated enrollment report from CMS for the 2022 open enrollment period, which shows that nearly 4.6 million people nationwide have enrolled in Marketplace coverage during the 2022 open enrollment period.

New Blog Series: Medicare and Medicaid Integration

Health Affairs
is launching a new blog series, Medicare and Medicaid Integration, featuring policy analysis, proposals, and commentary that will inform policies on the state and federal levels to advance integrated care for those dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.

The series will include blog posts exploring the evidence base (and gaps in our knowledge) and the range of views on various key issues—all with the aim of enhancing the national conversation on this issue and eliciting thoughtful responses from leaders in the public and private sectors.


We are grateful to
Arnold Ventures for supporting this project.

We are accepting submissions of blog posts for the series. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis and considered for publication through August 2022.
