Must-Read: Adam Hale Shapiro: Did Massachusetts Health-Care Reform Affect Prices? - Washington Center for Equitable Growth

The 2006 health-care reform in Massachusetts relied heavily on the private insurance market… …Recent evidence shows that the reform boosted payments to physicians from private insurers by 13% relative to other areas. This increase began immediately before the reform became law, suggesting that insurers raised payments in anticipation of the change. The reform may have also caused the state’s insurance premiums to fall. Overall, evidence suggests that the Massachusetts health-care reform shifted dollars away from insurers and towards providers and consumers.
