This healthcare advisory commission–led by the state’s top healthcare official with voting members appointed by the goveronor (8) and legislature (4)–recently wrapped up two years of study on the potential for creating a universal healthcare system using “unified financing”. (The term was not defined in clearcut terms, though single payer advocates interpret it to mean single payer financing, i.e., one entity collecting all monies and paying all bills.)
Read the final report. And tune in to hear panelists compare notes on the 106-page report and where it fits in to the ongoing push for single payer.
