Health Affairs is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed journal of health policy and managed care. Published since 1981 by the nonprofit organization
Project HOPE,
Health Affairs has become the most respected of all health policy journals, with the largest circulation and readership. John K. Iglehart, the journal's editor since its inception, established
Health Affairs' unique mission: to incorporate in one publication the diverse viewpoints, proposals and perspectives of the health sphere—industry, labor, government, and academe—in a way that will benefit everyone who reads it.
Health Affairs accepts about 10% of papers submitted for publication. Authors include policymakers, industry leaders, and academics in health policy, research, economics, medicine, law, politics, sociology, health administration and other related disciplines. Thanks to a dedicated editorial staff, the high quality of the journal's content is matched by the quality of the writing. Articles are relatively short and always readable, which has endeared
Health Affairs to its diverse audience.
