There is growing recognition of regional inequality in poverty calculations. However, incorporating such adjustments in multi-tier segmented programs is difficult: cross-selection + fiscal externalities. My #JMP considers whether or not it makes sense to do so in health insurance programs!

Like from the post earlier today. Child poverty dropped 25% over the last 30 years. True. But also we could, right now, cut child poverty 60% by spending a miniscule portion of our 7 trillion dollar federal budget but we don't. Needless suffering.

Working and middle class families simultaneously are a lot wealthier than they were 75 years ago and have access to less of the wealth generated. So the gap between how we could live and how we do live has grown.

"Health care spending in the US…increased 7.5 percent in 2023, growing from a rate of 4.6 percent in 2022." www.healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10....
healthaffairs.org
National Health Expenditures In 2023: Faster Growth As Insurance Coverage And Utilization Increased | Health Affairs Journal
Health care spending in the US reached $4.9 trillion and increased 7.5 percent in 2023, growing from a rate of 4.6 percent in 2022. In 2023, the insured share of the population reached 92.5 percent, as enrollment in private health insurance increased at a strong rate for the second year in a row, and both private health insurance and Medicare spending grew faster than in 2022. For Medicaid, spending and enrollment growth slowed as the COVID-19 public health emergency ended. The health sector’s share of the economy in 2023 was 17.6 percent, which was similar to its share of 17.4 percent in 2022 but lower than in 2020 and 2021, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. State and local governments accounted for a higher share of spending in 2023 than in 2022, while the federal government share was lower as COVID-19-related funding declined and federal Medicaid spending growth slowed.
