Dear John,

Are you a Health Affairs Insider?

Beyond the benefit of exclusive Insider events, we offer a full slate of premium newsletters that explore the ins and outs of health equity, health reform, and health spending.

For 2024, we have been excited to add two new newsletters into the mix featuring authors Stacie Dusetzina and Brent Fulton.

Stacie Dusetzina of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine will be joining our collective of Insider authors at the end of this month.

Her series Policy Prescription will look into the world of drug pricing. Within this scope, she will explore CMS fair prices, the impacts of pharmacy benefit managers, the current and future state of the IRA, and so much more.

Dusetzina is no stranger to the world of Health Affairs.
