Prices of Equitable Access: The New Massachusetts Health Insurance Law

Hastings Center Report 18 (3):21-25 (1988)

Abstract

Massachusetts's new health insurance law has been shaped by much more than presidential politics. Ten years of evolving policy on health insurance and hospital finance have exerted powerful influences. Ironically, enacting universal access required paying hospitals much more money for their currently insured patients. This costly compromise may destabilize the law's implementation.
