For decades, the high level and growth rate of U.S. health spending
have raised concerns about our continued ability to pay for other goods and services. In addition, comparisons to health care spending in other developed nations with equal or better health outcomes lead us to ask whether we could be doing better for our money.
Questions such as these led Health Affairs to launch a first-of-its kind project - the Health Affairs Council on Health Care Spending and Value. This non-partisan, multi-disciplinary, expert working group, chaired by William H. Frist and Margaret A. Hamburg, was charged with recommending ways that the US can take a deliberate approach to moderating health care spending growth while maximizing value.
Please join Health Affairs on Friday, February 3, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm Eastern for a special forum exploring the recommendations of the Council on Health Care Spending and Value, focusing on four broad "levers" for moderating health care spending and growth:
- Administrative streamlining;
- Price regulation and supports for competition;
- Spending growth targets;
and,
- Value-based payment.
The forum will feature commentary from:
- Council Co-Chairs William H. Frist and Margaret A. Hamburg;
- Council Members David M.
Cutler, Mark V. Pauly, John M. Colmers, and Jennifer L. Kowalski;
- Additional experts Margaret E. (Peggy) O’Kane, Emilio Varanini, Debra J. Lipson, and Hoangmai H. Pham
Date: Friday, February 3, 2023
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in February is, "The Role Of Real Estate Investment Trusts In Staffing US Nursing Homes."
The authors created a novel database of real estate investment trust (REIT) investments in US nursing homes and combined it with Medicare cost data
from the period 2013–19 to examine the effect increased REIT investment in nursing homes on staffing hours of licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants and registered nurses in years 2 and 3 after an initial investment.
On February 16, please join author Robert Tyler Braun of Weill Cornell Medical School, for a detailed discussion of the paper’s data, methods, and policy conclusions. Health Affairs Senior Editor Kathleen Haddad will host.
Date: Thursday, February 16, 2023
Time: 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
