Commentary from Senator Moore:
National
Health Care Reform Affects Us All
Most
Americans are concerned about the rising cost of health care, eroding
health benefits, and rising health insurance costs. While a majority of
Americans, and nearly all Massachusetts residents, have access to health
care, it seems as though we keep paying more for health, but getting
less care. Only ten years from now, if nothing is done at the national
level, Americans can expect to pay 68% more than at present for health
insurance and out of pocket costs of health care. Women, especially in a
deteriorating economy, are more likely to be adversely affected by the
cost of health care.
