Diane Meier’s discussion of the barriers to palliative care and how we might overcome those barriers tops the list of most-read Health Affairs Blog posts for May. As an example of how the system should work but too often doesn’t, Meier cites the case of Amy Berman, who chronicled her experiences after being diagnosed with terminal breast cancer in the April Health Affairs Narrative Matters essay.
The April most-read list is headed by Ken Kaufman’s look at the causes of slowing health care spending growth. Kaufman argues that more than the troubled economy is behind this trend.
The full lists for both months are below. And as we await the Supreme Court’s Affordable Care Act decision, you can review Health Affairs Blog’s extensive series of posts on the oral arguments in that case, which are broken out in a separate list here.
