PERSPECTIVE

Massachusetts Reform Plus President Bush’s Tax Credits: A National Model?

The Massachusetts health reform offers an important opportunity for a new federal-state strategy to cover the uninsured. President George Bush’s proposed health insurance tax credits could be added to the Massachusetts health reform. The combined plan would include Medicaid expansions; offer workers affordable coverage through competitive insurance markets; and provide federal, state, employer, and individual financing. Many other states might be interested in similar federal-state partnerships for the forty-five million uninsured Americans. Ending the national impasse on coverage needs this kind of bold initiative.
