The plan to improve Massachusetts’s health-care system seems
simple: By July 1, 2007, everyone in the state must
be insured. The state will use the money it (as well as insurers, hospitals,
and local and federal governments) now spends to subsidize the “free” hospital
care the uninsured receive to subsidize insurance for residents whose
earnings are too high for Medicaid qualifications but too low to afford
insurance.
