Dear John,

Following today's Supreme Court ruling, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's
Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade, here are some recent
Health Affairs content on different aspects of the law, and some
implications of today's decision.

Two studies from the April issue of Health Affairs journal:
* Title X Improved Access To Most Effective And Moderately Effective
Contraception In US Safety-Net Clinics, 2016-18

* Trends In Self-Pay Charges And Insurance Acceptance For Abortion In
The United States, 2017-20

Recent articles in Forefront:
* In The Wake Of Dobbs, Make High-Quality Family Planning A Core Element
Of Medicaid Managed Care

* Penalizing Abortion Providers Will Have Ripple Effects Across
Pregnancy Care

* Women's Lives And Health: Mere Abstractions In The Leaked Dobbs
Abortion Opinion

A May podcast episode from Health Affairs This Week:
* Unpacking the Supreme Court Abortion Draft Decision

Medicaid And Buprenorphine

Buprenorphine is highly effective at preventing overdoses and treating
opioid use disorder.

In their paper in the June issue of Health Affairs, Mark Meiselbach and
coauthors provide new evidence on how access to in-network buprenorphine
prescribing primary care providers

in Medicaid managed care varied during 2019.

The authors report that in 2019, 50 percent of Medicaid managed care
enrollees in states with high overdose death rates had access to fewer
than 1.9 buprenorphine prescribers per 100,000 population.

In low-overdose-death states, 50 percent of enrollees had fewer than 1.2
prescriber per 100,000 population. Overall, there were large variations
in enrollees' access to buprenorphine-prescribing primary care
providers across states.

The authors indicate that participation  in Medicaid managed care
networks among buprenorphine prescribers increases the probability that
an enrollee would be assigned to a buprenorphine-prescribing primary
care provider.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs

Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Robert Hecht and Chris Collins argue
that the recent proposal for a new global pandemic financing facility
greatly understates the role that the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
Tuberculosis, and Malaria should play in channeling preparedness
resources

quickly to low- and middle-income countries.

Oliver Kim and coauthors argue that Medicare urgently needs to build an
improved means of exchanging data

with Medicare Advantage plans.
