SUMMARY:Solving the healthcare crisis: A single-payer model for Massachusetts
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare costs continue to balloon\, far exceeding growth in wages\, income\, and inflation and placing an unsustainable burden on residents\, employers and cities and towns. Total healthcare costs in Massachusetts surged 8.6% in 2023\, reaching over $71 billion\, far exceeding the 3.6% annual benchmark goal set by the state. The state has outstripped the benchmark for the last five years. The average annual premium for employer-sponsored coverage for families in Mass is $26\,355. More than 40% of Massachusetts residents struggle to pay for healthcare while access to care declines. More than half of Massachusetts hospitals are operating in the red. \nCome hear about the options for a more sustainable\, effective\, compassionate and equitable system. We already spend more than enough to get the job done. \nThis event is sponsored by MassCare\, a coalition of over 100 member organizations advocating for a universal\, single-payer healthcare system in Massachusetts. They work to pass legislation that would establish a publicly financed system\, free of out-of-pocket costs at the point of care. They are supporting H. 1405 S. 860 An Act Establishing Medicare for all in Massachusetts. \n
