Last week, Health Affairs published "National Health Care Spending In
2021: Decline In Federal Spending Outweighs Greater Use Of Health Care
<[link removed]>,"
the annual national health expenditures article prepared by the Office
of the Actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Always one of Health Affairs' most-read articles, this year's report
estimates that in 2021 health care spending in the United States
increased 2.7 percent to $4.3 trillion, or $12,914 per person -- a
marked decline from the 10.3 percent growth in 2020.
On Tuesday, January 10, at 1:00 p.m., you are invited to join Health
Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil, David M. Cutler, the Otto Eckstein
Professor of Applied Economics at Harvard University, and M. Kate
Bundorf, the J. Alexander McMahon Distinguished Professor of Health
Policy and Management at the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy at
Duke University, for a discussion of the report and the conditions that
led to this drastic decline, including decreased federal government
expenditures since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The article will
appear in the January 2023 issue of the journal.
Date: Tuesday, January 10, 2023
Time: 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in January
is, "Medicaid Expansion Led To Reductions In Postpartum
Hospitalizations."
The authors looked at underused longitudinal hospital data from
2010-2017 and found that Medicaid expansion was associated with a 17
percent reduction in hospitalizations during the first 60 days
postpartum. They also found some evidence of a smaller decrease in
hospitalizations between 61 days and six months postpartum.
On January 18, please join authors Maria W. Steenland, an assistant
professor in the Department of Population Studies and Training Center of
Brown University, and Laura W. Wherry, an assistant professor at New
York University's Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, for a
detailed discussion of the paper's data, methods, and policy
conclusions. Health Affairs Senior Editor Leslie Erdelack will host.
Date: Wednesday,18, 2023
Time: 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Eastern
