[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In their new Forefront article, James Lee, @Cody_Mullens, @AdamMarkovitz, and Janice Probst from @UMich discuss how the expansion of Medicare Advantage (MA) in rural areas highlights a policy paradox: Despite long-standing efforts by the federal government to protect rural hospitals, its actions to expand MA may threaten these very institutions and the vulnerable populations whom they serve. https://t.co/RLh5nplnTu

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

Independent rural hospitals had lower negotiated prices for procedural and imaging services than their system-affiliated counterparts. https://t.co/BL6t0l3xOs

[U-M IHPI @UM_IHPI]

In the last 5 years, #telehealth use has become a standard part of care.

But has it also driven up the total number of visits or post-visit costs?

No, our members report in two timely new preprints.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing the first 10 drugs selected for Medicare price negotiation.

Seniors paid $3.4 billion in out-of-pocket costs for these 10 drugs in 2022. President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act is working to bring down those costs.

[Michael L. Barnett @ml_barnett]

It's that time again - my list of 10 of the most thought-provoking, surprising, and rigorous studies in health care in 2022!

Themes this year:
1) Care delivery changes that work (and don't)
2) Race and health care
3) Natural experiments in the ED
+ a few misc. cool papers

[Dan O'Neill @dp_oneill]

Perhaps the best visual answer to “why is American healthcare so expensive?”

Market power & agency probs are rampant, but cannot be solved via antitrust. So, at the end of the day, we either regulate prices or prices will be high (and rising).

[Bill Sweeney @BillSweeneyDC]

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who worked SO HARD for SO LONG to make this happen.

Out of pocket costs are going to be capped!

Insulin at $35 for Medicare!

Limits on drug price increases!

I am SO PROUD of the amazing team at AARP. ❤️
