- Bob Herman launched a multi-part series examining the crumbling employer-based health insurance system in his Health Care Inc. newsletter, with installments cross-posted to STAT's D.C. Diagnosis politics-and-policy newsletter.
- The series opens under the subheading 'U.S. workers and businesses are getting soaked,' framing the system's deterioration as a financial burden falling on both employees and the companies that sponsor their coverage.
Why it matters: Cross-posting the series from Health Care Inc. into STAT's D.C. Diagnosis politics-and-policy newsletter means STAT is positioning the employer-insurance story for an audience that includes the D.C. policy crowd, not just healthcare-business subscribers.
