Dear John,
Health Affairs is launching a new podcast called Health Affairs Pathways
to explore the complexity of the healthcare system through varied
storytelling. The first season will be a six-part series examining how
consolidation in health care is affecting independent primary care.

Health Equity
Articles in the January issue of Health Affairs discussed health
inequities related to dental care use, geographic proximity to
providers, physician obligations to patients with disabilities, and
insurance enrollment.
George Wehby and coauthors analyzed national survey data and found that
Medicaid expansion in states where extensive adult dental benefits were
included saw a narrowing of racial and ethnic disparities in dental care
use
in low-income adults.
Dimitris Karletsos and Charles Stoecker examined changes in the
geographic proximity of Medicaid enrollees to providers
in the wake of Louisiana's 2016 Medicaid expansion.
They determined that distance traveled by Medicaid beneficiaries
decreased across all eight types of services examined, with the greatest
declines seen among Black residents of nonmetropolitan areas for general
practice.
Lisa Iezzoni and coauthors surveyed physicians across the US to examine
the extent to which they understood their obligations to patients with
disabilities
under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In their findings, they
reported that 35.8 percent of those surveyed reported knowing little or
nothing about their responsibilities under the ADA.
Toward the end of the open enrollment period in California's
Affordable Care Act Marketplace, Covered California, tens of thousands
of people begin but do not complete the enrollment process.
Rebecca Myerson and coauthors reported results from a randomized trial
showing that personalized telephone calls
from service center representatives to discuss consumers' options
increased enrollment for lower-income households, with particularly
large increases seen among adults older than age fifty.
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, David Lansky argues that to ensure
care is more patient-focused
,
we need profound changes in how we capture and apply information about
quality of care and health outcomes.
Sean Tunis and coauthors explain that the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services' (CMS') draft national coverage decision on
monoclonal antibody therapies
for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease highlights the difference in
decision-making authorities between the Food and Drug Administration and
CMS.
Kathryn Phillips and Rita Redberg discuss key policy implications
of CMS' recent decision on Alzheimer's drugs, including the role of
"coverage with evidence development."
