“…As a result, there has been less attention on the enabling and supporting strategies towards successful implementation and practice of the NHI. Barrilleaux and Rainey explain how partisan politics outweigh universal healthcare program (Obamacare) at the expense of citizens [2]. This is a fundamental challenge which the South African government should take cognizance of, in the implementation of NHI.…”

“…However, over the years discourse including strategic and policy documents has been more of one sided, in favor of the enabled rather than the enabler. Taken the USA account and experience into consideration [2], this can be detrimental for the implementation of NHI.…”

This paper provides an insight about the significance of the enterprise technical architecture (ETA) in enabling and supporting the implementation of the South African National Health Insurance (NHI). Design: Existing documentations from both academic and government domains were gathered, and analyzed using the hermeneutics technique, from the perspective of interpretivist approach. Based on the analysis, the paper reveals the cruciality of the ETA in the implementation of the Universal health coverage (NHC) in the South African environment. The paper is intended to be of use for the core stakeholders of the NHI, which include governments' administrations, IT specialists, health practitioners, as well as academics.

“…Republican-controlled states have been less likely to embrace Medicaid expansion and set up insurance exchanges than their Democratic-controlled counterparts. [28][29][30][31] In federal-level reform plans, state ideological preferences interact with state desires for autonomy. In 2017, Republicans designed Graham-Cassidy plan's grants to temporarily raise federal funding for Republican-controlled states that blocked Medicaid expansion.…”

In the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak, health care reform has again taken a major role in the 2020 election, with Democrats weighing Medicare for All against extensions of the Affordable Care Act, while Republicans quietly seem to favor proposals that would eliminate much of the ACA and cut Medicaid. Although states play a major role in health care funding and administration, public and scholarly debates over these proposals have generally not addressed the potential disruption that reform proposals might create for the current state role in health care. We examine how potential reforms influence statefederal relations, and how outside factors like partisanship and exogenous shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic interact with underlying preferences of each level of government. All else equal, reforms that expand the ACA within its current framework would provide the least disruption for current arrangements and allow for smoother transitions for providers and patients, rather than the more radical restructuring proposed by Medicare for All or the cuts embodied in Republican plans.

Access to Healthcare and Criminal Behavior: Evidence from the ACA Medicaid Expansions

I investigate the causal relationship between access to healthcare and crime following state decisions to expand Medicaid coverage after the Affordable Care Act. I combine state-level crime data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reports for the years 2009 through 2018 with variation in insurance eligibility generated by the Medicaid expansion. Using a difference-indifferences design, my findings indicate that states that expanded Medicaid have experienced a 5.3 percent reduction in annual reported violent crime rates relative to nonexpansion states. This effect is explained by decreases in aggravated assaults and corresponds to 17 fewer incidents per 100,000 people. The estimated decrease in reported crime amounts to an annual cost savings of approximately $4 billion.
