Report from The United States: State Health Reform Flatlines (2008)
http://www.pnhp.org/states_flatline/State%20Health%20Reform%20Flatlines%20IJHS%20-%202008.pdfMassachusetts’ recent health reform has generated laudatory headlines and a flurry of interest in state-based initiatives to achieve universal health insurance coverage.
In 1988, a similar Massachusetts effort was also acclaimed and was imitated by several other states. Unfortunately, none
of those efforts can be judged a success. The authors briefly review this earlier experience and caution against premature declaration of victory.
