Health Care Reform Lauded

Approximately 70 percent of in-state physicians support the current Massachusetts Health Care Reform Law that authorized near universal health care coverage for the state in 2006, according to a study released by the Harvard School of Public Health

As part of the study, the researchers asked approximately 2000 practicing physicians in Massachusetts about 22 different aspects of their practice and whether these had been affected by the law’s passage.

Physicians were asked to rate the bill’s effect on everything from their ability to get needed referrals to their patients’ waiting time.

In 21 of the areas, the majority of physicians reported that the law had either a positive or negligible effect on their practice.

Ok, when judging something, you always need to test against something. In medicine,you test against a placebo.

I could say “unemployment in Texas and Alaska are up over the last two years, therefore republicans and/or conservatives stink”.

That is quite wrong because if compare the rise in unemployment in TX and AK compared to the other states, the result is quite good.

Saying under romneycare, things got worse doesn’t cut it.

It has to be under romneycare, things got worse compared to other states and I don’t see the proof here.

Oh, well in that case the 100s of millions in cost overruns are just dandy then, since the doctors in a Harvard study seem all happy.

On to Obama Care then!

I know some doctors like it as well.

And what is a trillion or two among friends!

Mitt will be happier than a pig in slop, maybe he can be the health care Czar...
