Dear John,
Articles in the January 2022 issue of Health Affairs discuss perinatal
health, including insurance coverage and stillbirth.
Perinatal Health
In their systematic review of the literature
,
Meghan Bellerose and coauthors found the Affordable Care Act Medicaid
expansion increased preconception and postpartum Medicaid coverage and
reduced insurance churn. However, they found limited evidence of
increased perinatal care utilization or improved infant birth
outcomes. Â
Sarah Gordon and coauthors analyzed data from Colorado
,
which, in July 2021, extended postpartum Medicaid coverage for twelve
months. They found that the extension is likely to improve the stability
of health insurance in the postpartum year. Â
In her Narrative Matters essay, Marny Smith wrote about working to
import stillbirth prevention policies
from abroad after having a stillborn son at thirty-six weeks.
"While the US is badly lagging in addressing the problem of
stillbirths, other countries are addressing it with rational fixes,"
Smith explained, citing successful policies implemented in Scotland.
To listen to authors read their own essays, check out the Narrative
Matters podcast feed
.
For more perinatal health content, revisit the October 2021 issue of
Health Affairs, Perinatal Mental Health And More.
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Anurag Malani argues we must refocus
on antibiotic stewardship programs
to slow the development and spread of superbugs before they become the
next major global health threat.
In GrantWatch, Elizabeth Cope and colleagues report results of their
analysis
of research projects on trust related to health care delivery. Mostly
because of the pandemic, renewed emphasis on racial justice, and
proliferation of mis- and disinformation, trust may have gotten more
attention, they speculate.
Katie Keith discusses the recently issued draft letter
from the US Department of Health and Human Services to insurers in the
federally facilitated exchange.
