Health Affairs
Dear John,
To mark the 25th anniversary of the Children's Health Insurance
Program, Health Affairs will host a Lunch and Learn event
on August 30 for Insiders to discuss lessons learned about coverage
expansion and future opportunities to sustain the program and improve
children's care.
Back To School Essentials
As we approach the end of August, many students interested in health
services and health policy are heading back to school. In today's
newsletter, we highlight several Forefront articles about topics
essential for these future policy makers and health care leaders to
consider.
First, two articles from March 2022 examine the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services' National Health Expenditure Projections
.
Michael Chernew argues that policy changes are needed to improve the
value of health care dollars
that are spent, and George Miller and coauthors explain that the longest
lasting financial impacts of the pandemic
may be accelerations of shifts that were already underway.
Second, "Medicine's Privileged Gatekeepers: Producing Harmful
Ignorance About Racism And Health," by Nancy Krieger and coauthors,
provides readers with a poignant analysis of how medical journals
produce ignorance about racism
.
Krieger and coauthors' analysis demonstrates "striking evidence of the
failure of leading medical journals to publish extant scientific
research on racism and health" and that "the problem is not an absence
of publishable work."
Aletha Maybank, one of the authors of the aforementioned article, also
joined Vabren Watts, Health Affairs' director of health equity, to
interview Harriet Washington
as part of the additional
video content published with our theme issue on Racism & Health
.
Finally, "Health-Related Litigation And The Supreme Court" Part I
and Part II
by Katie Keith give readers a crash course in recent Supreme Court
decisions that affect health policy.
Understanding the impact of the court's decisions is especially
important now given the court's six-to-three conservative majority,
and you won't want to miss our health policy analysis as it's released.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Brian Blase asserts that policy

their spending trajectories are unsustainable and growing worse over
time.
