IN THE JOURNAL

Health Affairs' 10 Most-Read Articles of 2019

As 2019 comes to an end, we take time to recognize the most-read

**Health Affairs** articles of this past year.

The list below covers a broad range of topics from health spending to
Medicaid expansion, from the cost of drugs to the role of the social
determinants of health. If you read the articles when they were first
published, we encourage you to revisit them. If they're new to you, we
hope you dig in and find out why they were so popular.

Health Affairs is grateful to all of the authors we publish in our
pages. Here's to a year ahead with yet more rigorous research and the
kind of path-breaking studies that continue to advance the field and
shape policy in new ways.
