from the COVID-19 pandemic and the bright spots he sees for health care
payment reform. Don't miss this insightful conversation between
seasoned health policy professionals.
A Health Podyssey: Leemore Dafny
Many of the popular
**A Health Podyssey**episodes focus on the business of health care or
drug markets. This September episode features a wide-ranging conversion
with Harvard Business School's Leemore Dafny highlighting her research
on hospital prices and market concentration.
Health Affairs This Week: Breaking Down The 2021 Momnibus Bill
The
**Health Affairs This Week** podcast focuses on the biggest news that
catches the attention of the
**Health Affairs** editorial team. In February Senior Editors Jessica
Bylander and Leslie Erdelack published an explainer on the 2021 Momnibus
Bill. Listeners kept coming back to the episode throughout the year to
understand the bill and its implications.

A Health Podyssey: LIVE with Liz Fowler
Health Affairs launched a series of free virtual events in 2021 (you can

). As part of our Policy
Spotlight series, Alan Weil spoke in June with Liz Fowler, director of
the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, about President
Biden's health care agenda.
A Health Podyssey: Leah Rand
As a measure used in value assessment, the quality-adjusted life-year
(or QALY) has received a lot of criticism. Leah Rand, a postdoctoral
fellow at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital,
came on
**A Health Podyssey** in September to explore the strengths and
weaknesses of those critical arguments. Ultimately, she argued, the
QALY is essential for the move to value-based pricing.
A Health Podyssey: Scott Howell
Drug prices and spending are a big concern. Some estimates put spending
on prescription drugs in the US at more than $500 billion per year.
Novartis Pharmaceuticals Chief Strategy Officer Scott Howell joined
**A Health Podyssey**Â to discuss the large costs of drug utilization
management and what can be done about them.
A Health Podyssey: Sabrina Poon
Under the "two midnight rule," hospitals are only paid inpatient
rates for those patients expected to stay in the hospital over two
nights. Sabrina Poon from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center came
on
**A Health Podyssey**to speak about how that controversial rule has
affected inpatient admissions and outpatient stays.
A Health Podyssey: Ariel Dora Stern
In another drug markets-focused episode Ariel Dora Stern explains how
quickly biosimilars and follow-on products gained market share and the
subsequent trajectory of drug prices. For any scholars of evolving
health product markets, this episode is for you.
Health Affairs This Week: Zoning Policy Is Health Policy
Finally, on this October episode of
**Health Affairs This Week**, Deputy Editor Rob Lott dives into his
secret love of urban planning and explores a Health Policy Brief by
