Health Affairs' September Issue: Market Concentration

The September 2017 issue of Health Affairs examines different aspects of health care markets including market concentration, competition, and provider networks.

Market forces play a pivotal role in cost, quality, and access aspects of health care. This issue of Health Affairs takes a closer look at recent market trends with papers on provider and insurer market concentration, a look at the lack of mental health provider options in Affordable Care Act marketplaces, and rural hospital obstetric services closures' effect on access to care.

Several AcademyHealth members are among this issue's authors. See the full issue here.
