Friday, September 30, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs

Dear John,

Don't miss our latest episode of Health Affairs This Week. In today's
episode, Kathleen Haddad and Chris Fleming conduct a whistle-stop tour
of the current health policy litigations

flowing through the courts.

Most-Read In September

In today's newsletter we are highlighting the three most-read Health
Affairs Forefront articles published in September 2022.

It's Time For Employers To Bring Health Care Decisions In-House

Christopher Whaley and coauthors discuss three key strategies to improve
the effectiveness of their health care purchasing activities.

It's Time To Create A National Long COVID Compensation Program

Howard Bauchner argues that without a national long COVID program, it is
likely that individuals will not receive the care they need, disparities
in care will inevitably develop, and staggering costs will be passed on
to employers and state and federal governments.

Pharmacists Can Now Prescribe Paxlovid, But Barriers Persist

Richard Hughes IV and Kala Shankle discuss how access to Paxlovid may be
limited by a requirement that pharmacists access patient records and the
absence of a pathway to reimbursement for the required patient
assessment.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs

Today in Forefront, Ian Spatz considers the opportunities and risks

associated with how CMS decides to carry out price negotiations.

Micah Johnson and coauthors project the ten drug prices likely to be
negotiated first by Medicare
.

Alice Hm Chen and Peter Lee discuss how health plans will never become
reliable engines

for quality improvement and disparities reduction if purchasers do not
create clear economic incentives.

Elevating Voices - Hispanic Heritage Month: In the April 2022 issue,
José F. Figueroa and coauthors discuss

the extent to which HIV influences additional spending on and use of
mental health and medical care among Medicare beneficiaries and,
importantly, whether treatment with antiretroviral therapy may reduce
this additional spending.

The October 2022 issue of Health Affairs provides a comprehensive,
scholarly look at the relationship between disability and health, and
all month long, we'll be hosting events to highlight the theme issue.

Beginning on Monday, October 3, we'll kick off the month with a virtual
symposium on Disability & Health.

Later in the week, we'll host a free in-person, community-based event

and video premiere at Main Street Connect
, an accessible and inclusive apartment

in-person, you can also join virtually.
