What's New At Health Affairs
This week in Forefront, authors cover the Senate's approval of the
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, which includes comprehensive
reforms to Medicare drug pricing policy, and health spending in the US.
Rachel Sachs provides an analysis of the drug pricing package
,
and Katie Keith
looks at a key component of the IRA: the three-year extension of the
most significant enhanced Marketplace subsidies first adopted under the
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
On the topic of health spending, Michael Bailit examines the factors
driving health care spending upward
in states with cost growth targets, and considers how states can
navigate future dynamics like market consolidation and growth in
pharmacy prices.
