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.
