Health Affairs: Forefront articles from June

If I have any recommendations for "must-read" sources of insight into the world of health care policy and law they would be the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) Health News website/homepage and the policy journal Health Affairs. Today KFF recapped its most popular Forefront articles (June 2023). Here's a summary:

• Sara Rosenbaum, Tim Jost, and coauthors broke down the Supreme Court’s Talevski decision regarding Medicaid beneficiaries.
• Sean Tunis and Peter Neumann wrote about Medicare and Alzheimer’s drug coverage.
• Aletha Maybank and coauthors embrace creative tensions to advance health equity.
• Denver Health shares their experience with inclusive race and ethnicity data collection.
• Corwin Rhyan and George Miller share an early look at what drove 2022’s health care spending slowdown.

Also, we had many articles in our major Forefront series:

• In the Accountable Care for Population Health series, Gabriel Drapos and Michael Kopko argue that valued-based care fuels innovation, not consolidation.
• In our Medicare and Medicaid Integration series, Allison Rizer and Henry Claypool wrote two articles on the proposed Medicaid managed care rules. Here’s the first article.
• In our Provider Prices in the Commercial Sector series, Ann Kempski and Ge Bai write that the North Carolina Medicaid expansion puts employers and workers at risk for higher hospital prices.
