Medicaid Expansion and Retail Pharmacy Availability
This cohort study evaluates whether expanded Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act was associated with pharmacy availability, and how Medicaid coverage losses under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act may be associated with pharmacy availability

Investment in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered ambient scribes has surged, as health systems across the country pilot this technology. 1,2Recent studies have found that ambient scribes reduced documentation burden, with associated enthusiasm among clinicians regarding their potential. [3][4][5][6] However, a new Viewpoint by Nong and Neprash 7 in JAMA Health Forum raises concern that AI scribes may increase health care spending by increasing …
Use of and Steering to Pharmacies Owned by Insurers and Pharmacy Benefit Managers in Medicare
This cross-sectional study found that insurer-PBM firms represented an important portion of the Medicare Part D market, especially for certain drug classes, and that insurer-PBM firms steered patients to their own pharmacies, despite certain pharmacy network protections in Medicare.

However, over two decades, the performance gap between hospitals treating Black and white patients shrank by over two-thirds. This progress is due to more rapid performance improvement at hospitals that tended…
