Dear John,

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.

For more analysis on health care spending in the US, join Health Affairs Insider to sign up for our curated health spending newsletter.
