Massachusetts Senate discusses single payer costs

Last week, the Massachusetts Senate voted not to study the potential cost-cutting effects of a single-payer healthcare system. The study–which would have required a year-by-year comparison between single payer and the existing system–was proposed as an amendment to a bill that would cut healthcare spending in the state. Despite its defeat, however, the proposed amendment led to a spirited discussion of the benefits of single payer. The movement for a single-payer system in Massachusetts continues.
