Report Examines Massachusetts Health Reform |
|
Almost one year after Massachusetts implemented a plan for universal health care, the Urban Institute has released a report examining its progress. The report states that the level of uninsurance has dropped from 13% to 7% and that the level of care patients received has also improved. While the report reviews the successes of the reform, it also addresses several issues/problems with the reform including the fact that it has cost more money than originally anticipated. In addition, the researchers found no evidence that the new state-subsidized coverage for those earning less than three times the poverty level was "crowding out" private, employer-provided insurance. |
