Health Economics Briefs from Penn’s Leonard Davis Institute

Penn’s Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics has a  new ACA Impact Series that provides insight and analsys from prominent health economists about the ACA and policy decisions that legislators will have to make.

The series briefs include:

  1. How Has the Affordable Care Act Affected Work and Wages?
  2. Turmoil in the Health Insurance Marketplaces
  3. Insurance Coverage and Access to Care Under the Affordable Care Act
  4. Effect of the ACA on Cost Containment

Written with reporters in mind,”The Sourcebook: Essentials of Health Policy” is useful for anyone looking for concise information on health policy issues, and experts from across the political spectrum. Chapters contain fast facts, background, tips for reporters, story ideas and experts with contact information. The book also includes an extensive glossary and ideas for TV and radio reporters.

Guide to health policy acronyms: If there’s one thing health policy has in abundance, it’s acronyms. So many that CMS (itself an acronym and a truncated one at that; as it stands for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) has an online acronym guide. There are hundreds of entries, alphabetically arranged. Some are quite obscure.
