Dear John,
2021 was a year of incredible growth and expansion for Health Affairs.
Our community grew over the last year, and our publications, events,
podcasts, and briefs have all contributed to a better understanding of
the impact of health policy.
Read the 2021 Impact Report
for highlights of the work we accomplished.
Ahead of Print: Health Reform Updates
In an ahead-of-print article, Katie Keith writes that enrollment in
Marketplace coverage
remains high as we await new rules from the Biden administration and
track No Surprises Act litigation.
Keith reports that 14.5 million people enrolled in the Affordable Care
Act (ACA) Marketplace during the 2022 open enrollment period, including
nearly 3.1 million new consumers. Overall, enrollment increased by 21
percent relative to 2021.
In her breakdown of litigation over the No Surprises Act, Keith explains
the act, a related interim final, and legal challenges facing the
measure.
Several of the lawsuits are currently on hold, and the Biden
administration has indicated that it will issue a final arbitration rule
by next month.
"This final rule could rescind, replace, or readopt the provisions set
aside by the court. The final rule will likely affect the timeline of
current litigation and could trigger future lawsuits," Keith reports.

Reform newsletter.

premiums and fulfill work requirements.
