Overview

Editorial review covers vaccine economics, private equity in healthcare, and trends in Medicaid and Medicare Advantage markets.

Key Points

  • Vaccination resulted in average acute medical expenditures being $194 less for children and $1,743 less for adults.
  • Higher commercial prices among hospital- and private equity-affiliated specialists contribute to an estimated $2.9 billion increase in healthcare spending.
  • Medicare Advantage trends indicate reduced insurer concentration may lead to lower payments and premiums for enrollees.
  • Medicaid expansion showed increased PrEP coverage but did not significantly impact overall prescribing rates.
