IN THE JOURNAL
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.
