It looks like Democrats are on their way to giving the government the authority to negotiate the prices of certain drugs in Medicare and enhancing ACA affordability. This would be the biggest health reform since passage of the ACA itself over 12 years ago.

This is such an important read from @DavidBlumenthal and @LaurieZephyrin. The Dobbs decision has already sent, as they put it, "shockwaves" through the American health care system and will undoubtedly reduce access to care and deepen inequities by race and ethnicity. 1/2
The SCOTUS decision in Dobbs v. Jackson #WomensHealth Organization will have a monumental impact on the U.S. health system. Here, @DavidBlumenthal & @LaurieZephyrin make clear the potential health system implications. buff.ly/3QLmRxW

.@CMSGov summary of responses "Commenters supported CMS’ suggestion for QHP issuers to obtain a health equity accreditation, and some specified support for the @NCQA Health Equity Accreditation" The limited concerns mentioned here shouldn't stop CMS from doing the right thing.
The federal government is considering a mandated #accreditation for #healthequity, but some business groups are raising concerns. h/t @karahartnett ow.ly/7S4350JEayx

Hats off to @HealthNYGov #Medicaid for leveraging NCQAs race and ethnicity #HEDIS stratifications. We're urging more states to use this option to advance health equity and reduce disparities. #CMSQualCon2022
