Massachusetts Health Care ProgramSubmitted by Jim Kneser on December 3, 2006 - 6:21pm.
The new health care program in Massachusetts is worthy of examination. Attached is a collection of articles.Some interesting features to watch for:1. The individual mandate vs. the employer mandate or the taxpayer mandate.2. The incentives and disincentives that have been changed from the traditional systems.3. The portability of coverage--not perfect but improving.4. The big question marks:a. Have free riders been cut off, or will they drive costs still higher?b. Will the curtailment of "Cadillac coverage" for basic policies be permitted to endure?5. Who is uninsured in Massachusetts presently and why? Much confusion exists on this point and these articles make some interesting observations. Click on some of the pdf files below to learn about the Massachusetts health care program.
