We’re putting the spotlight this week on a new addition to our blogging repertoire. Our weekly “quick hits” will complement our usual content by linking to relevant and recent reports and opinions of interest in the field. We are also very interested in what our readers are finding and learning, and so hope you’ll share your “quick hit” ideas with us. We welcome ideas from a wide variety of sources, including news, blogs, and the scientific literature. Read on for our first installment.
The Pump Handle blog has attracted our attention with a couple of interesting posts, including In Praise of Cohort Studies and When Public Health Budgets are Cut, Somebody Still Pays.
The Health Affairs Blog offered its most-read posts for February. The list includes Kavita Patel’s Health Care in the 2012 Budget: Looking Forward and Backward and Timothy Jost’s Analyzing Judge Vinson’s Opinion Invalidating the ACA.
Kaiser Health News has had great coverage on states’ budget struggles vis-à-vis Medicaid, including Governors’ “Wish Lists,” and Health Law Ups the Ante in State-Federal Budget Battle. See also the Kaiser Foundation’s new report on the Top 5 Things to Know about Medicaid.
We've recently been joining the Health Wonk Review, a biweekly compendium of posts from the health policy blogosphere. Today's edition is hosted by The Lucidicus Project and features our recent perspective on health disparities and Avik Roy's commentary on the possibility of current Wisconsin politics to trigger Medicaid reform.
And, since March is also National Nutrition Month, we thought we’d highlight a recent interview with Professor Jan Poppendieck about her latest book that rethinks school food for the 21st century and an article on how “food czars” in a handful of large U.S. cities are tackling the twin challenges of obesity and hunger.
