I thought health economics deserved its own... let me know what I missed! No shade meant for any of these papers, of course. #healthecon

New paper out today in JAMA with @LavalleeMat, Matthew Zahn, @FrankXu_PhD, and @healthecon_dan where we document a substantial increase in plan exits from Medicare Advantage in 2026.
Approximately 1 in 10 MA beneficiaries have been forced to leave their plan in 2026.

Forced disenrollment from #MedicareAdvantage plans will reach 10% in 2026, affecting millions—particularly those in rural areas, PPOs, and lower-rated plans. 🧵

Forced disenrollment rates averaged about 1% of enrollment annually from 2018–2024 but increased sharply in 2025 and 2026. Disruptions are more common among beneficiaries enrolled in PPO plans, plans offered by smaller carriers, and those living in rural areas.

These findings highlight the potential for significant coverage disruptions and raise important questions about continuity of care and market dynamics in Medicare Advantage.
We are grateful for support from @Arnold_Ventures for this work.

New paper out in @JAMANetworkOpen led by @JohnsHopkinsSPH HPM PhD student Matthew Lavallee.
This new paper highlights a potential tradeoff enrollees may face when selecting Part B giveback plans in MA: narrower provider networks for most specialties.
Medicare Advantage plans with Part B premium givebacks had narrower physician networks compared with plans without givebacks, especially among those offering larger giveback amounts. ja.ma/4k0w8kK

Online sports betting can increase the risk of gambling disorder—raising concerns for mental health and substance use. @MattDEisenberg and @Mark_Meiselbach highlight how state-by-state regulations create natural experiments for smarter interventions.

As of this morning, Baltimore has seen a 29.8% decrease in homicides and a 25.2% decline in non-fatal shootings.
As we enter the last month of the year, we are doubling down on our work to continue this progress into 2026 and beyond. One life lost to violence is one too many.

the most under-appreciated local government success over the past three years? it’s actually Baltimore imo
-murders down 60%
-major pro-housing reforms including ending parking mandates, legalizing single-stair buildings, and permitting denser housing
3 Nov 2025
Today, I signed a package of bills to make housing in Baltimore more abundant and affordable.
These bills will help folks buy a home and grow wealth, counter decades of disinvestment, and make sure both long-time and new residents feel the benefits of Baltimore's Renaissance.

A new study, led by Karen Shen, PhD, MS, finds shifts in U.S. psychiatric bed supply: general hospitals & govt facilities downsized, while large for-profit chains grew. These findings raise questions about the quality of inpatient psychiatric care.
