Dear John,
The January 2022 issue includes the new annual national health
expenditures report and insights around price regulation.
Health Spending
Published in the January issue of Health Affairs, the federal
government's annual national health expenditures report
,
by Micah Hartman and colleagues, revealed a nearly 10 percent increase
in health spending in 2020 due almost entirely to growing federal
expenditures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Programs such as the Paycheck Protection Program and the Provider Relief
Fund increased federal expenditures, and there was increased public
health spending and strong growth in federal Medicaid payments.
In an article in our series of Policy Insights, Robert Berenson and
Robert Murray made the case thatprice regulation
can serve to increase competition in health care in the domains that
matter most to patients.
"Out-of-network caps should reduce hospitals' overall negotiating
leverage, exerting downward pressure on in-network negotiated rates,"
they theorized.
Berenson and Murray will join Michael Chernew and Health Affairs Senior
Editor Laura Tollen for a discussion about price regulation at an
upcoming Health Affairs Lunch and Learn on January 20, 2022, at 1 p.m.
ET.

Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Bazi Kanani argues that distribution
of the recently approved malaria vaccine
in sub-Saharan Africa should include trusted messengers and local
community partners.
Carl Coleman argues that courts are unlikely to look favorably on
license revocations
based on statements a physician makes in a nonclinical context.
