Lessons learned from Mass. groundbreaking experiment with near-universal health careJuly 24th, 2009 Lessons learned from Mass. health care experimentSome of the lessons learned from Massachusetts' landmark experiment with near-universal coverage:
— Individual Mandate: A key to the Massachusetts law is the "individual mandate," the requirement that every resident be insured — either privately or through a subsidized plan — or face financial penalties;
— Affordability: For the individual mandate to work, Massachusetts had to make sure there were affordable insurance options, prompting the creation of a Health Care Connector Authority to refer the uninsured to state-subsidized or lower-cost plans;
— Plugging Holes: Early in the debate, Massachusetts lawmakers decided that rather than reinvent the entire health care system, the law would instead close a series of holes, allowing the vast majority of residents to keep existing plans;
— Business Backing: The Massachusetts law was built on a three-legged stool (government, business and individuals) requiring the support of business leaders, although not all agreed with a provision fining some companies that don't offer insurance.
