Dear John,

Earlier this year, we announced plans for our new open access journal.

Now, we are pleased to announce that Kathryn A. Phillips, Professor of Health Economics and Health Services Research at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), has accepted the appointment of Editor-in-Chief of Health Affairs Scholar.
Introducing Art Enables
Tomorrow we will release our theme issue on Disability & Health, which features artists from Art Enables, a nonprofit organization that provides opportunities and experiences to artists with disabilities.

We purchased original artwork by five talented artists, and we are honored to share their stories. Each week in October in this newsletter, we'll feature one of these artists and their work.

Meet Toni Lane, who has been going to Art Enables since 2013, and is now a resident artist and studio art coordinator.

"When I wake up, when I go to bed, when I go to work, I make art," says Lane. As a resident artist, she earns income from art sales.

Among her proudest accomplishments as an artist include writing Ghetto Girls Rule in Marseille, a book about her experience in Marseilles and having her original artwork acquired by the Library of Congress.

Read more and see her artwork in a recent Forefront article, "Creating Income Opportunities For Artists With Disabilities."

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
This week in Health Affairs Forefront, Alice Hm Chen and Peter V. Lee write about California's Marketplace innovations.

Micah Johnson and coauthors provide a physicians' perspective in projecting the ten drug prices likely to be negotiated first by Medicare.

Elsewhere, Katie Keith discusses the latest lawsuit over the implementation of the independent dispute resolution (IDR) process under the No Surprises Act, challenging a final rule on the IDR process that was issued in August 2022.

In another article, Keith covers a new lawsuit in federal district court in DC to challenge a Trump-era policy that allows insurers and pharmacy benefit managers to not apply financial support from a drug manufacturer towards a patient’s deductible or annual out-of-pocket maximum.

Read all of these articles in full, for free, on Health Affairs Forefront, and if you want to support the work we do on Forefront, consider becoming a Health Affairs Insider.
