A healthcare reform study in Massachusetts reported more people covered under insurance did not improve medical debts for them.
Tuesday the American Journal of Medicine published these findings which looked at Massachusetts’ healthcare reform,modeled after President Barack Obama’s national plan that was passed last year.
Advocators for the national healthcare reform claimed it would reduce medical bankruptcy.
"These data suggest that reducing medical bankruptcy rates in the United States will require substantially improved -- not just expanded -- insurance," authors wrote.
Researchers took a random sample of Massachusetts’ bankruptcy filers in July 2009 and sent surveys to 500 households. The Massachusetts healthcare reform was implemented in 2008,so they compared their data to 2007 information.
