Impact of the health insurance deregulation policy for cross-regional healthcare on hospitalization visits and expenses of patients with ischemic heart disease: an interrupted time... by Yueying Cui, Xi Wang, Jiu Cheng, Yifei Wang, Huimin Yang, Ruihua Feng

“…Per-visit hospitalization expenses maintained pre-deregulation policy declining trends (−126.71 CNY/week pre-policy vs. −32.04 CNY/week post-policy), despite a non-significant instantaneously increase by 478.43 (p = 0.723) in the first week following the implementation of this policy. Additionally, the health insurance deregulation policy reversed the weekly trend of insurance reimbursement costs per visit from decreasing (−81.98 CNY/week) to increasing trajectories (1.95 CNY/week, p = 0.004).ConclusionThe health insurance deregulation policy successfully expanded IHD care access without exacerbating financial burdens, demonstrating that administrative simplification can coexist with cost containment under concurrent payment reforms.…”

Changes in the nutrient composition of top-selling packaged foods and beverages in Colombia between 2016 to 2021 by Luis Carlos Forero, Luis F. Gómez, Mercedes Mora-Plazas, María Parra-Murillo, María Parra-Murillo, Sara Toquica, Lindsey Smith Taillie

“…McNemar’s test for paired data was used to evaluate changes in the proportion of each of the critical nutrients and NNS to be regulated.ResultsThere were no significant changes in sodium, saturated fat, trans fat, or free sugar in foods or beverages prior to policy implementation. However, there was a significant increase in the presence of NNS in beverages, during this pre-policy period from 32 to 59%.ConclusionThese findings suggest that changes in nutrient composition of packaged foods and beverages had been marginal before the implementation of the tax and warning labeling laws.…”
