| Description | A packed Capitol Hill forum Feb. 25 heard a warning that national health care reform should steer clear of the problems Massachusetts has experienced with its state program.
Titled “National Lessons from State Health Reform: the Massachusetts Case Study,” the forum was convened by Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) and sponsored by the Leadership Conference for Guaranteed Health Care, a coalition of nurses and other health care providers, labor unions, and nonprofit organizations.
Panelists explained to the audience of health care advocates and congressional staffers the history, implementation, and current condition of Massachusetts’ much-discussed 2006 health care reform law.
Their core message was that the 2006 law is not working and should not be used by President Obama and his administration as a national model for health care reform. |
