Can the Bay State and Gov. Deval Patrick really rein in healthcare costs?
The Democratic legislature and GOP Gov. Mitt Romney punted tough choices down the road when they adopted, at the state level, the first American attempt at “national” healthcare.
Will avoiding fee-for-service payment to doctors help enough? Or even more emphasis on wellness? Or is it time to regulate hospitals and clinics away from buying ever-greater amounts of ever-more-expensive diagnostic equipment and such?
In other words, is the time for what wingers call “rationing” here?
