Health Affairs to launch blog

For twenty-five years Health Affairs’ goal as a journal has been to foster an ongoing dialogue on health policy issues of concern to a diverse audience of interested readers. They are about to launch a blog on their website www.healthaffairs.org.

Anyone is welcome to comment, but all must register and agree to terms of use, including the use of real names. Comments will be filtered for appropriateness and language.

The main elements of Health Affairs’ blog will include:

• invited posts from leading policy analysts;
• responses from a variety of health care stakeholders;
• comments from readers;
• links to timely information both within Health Affairs and from other sources;
• posts from Health Affairs’ editors on policy briefings, new reports, hot policy topics.

Writers during the first two weeks will include:
James Robinson, University of California, Berkeley, on Michael Porter’s new book
Alain Enthoven, Stanford University, writing his first-ever blog post
Uwe Reinhardt, Princeton University
Alan Maynard, University of York
And much more.

Blog postings will not be peer-reviewed, but all will be vetted by the journal’s editors.
We invite you, our loyal readers, to join us in this new venture beginning October 5 at www.healthaffairs.org/blog
