Our colleagues at Community Partners, a support organization for outreach and enrollment work across the state, have just started a new health blog (yes, Nancy, another one) for outreach and enrollment workers to share information and insights. It’s called “Speaking of Outreach” and is already generating useful and good discussion. Click here to access it. Definitely worth a bookmark.

Thank you Ann Malone we need more like you to stand up to this sham. they should rename the law to “shame law” they are throwing out this ripoff to the press. I refuse to sign on to this and the truth is the State is discriminating against the middle class. pretty soon they will be a LAW against not being wealthy.Elitist State of Massachusetts.
Re: “reform”…”pressing issues AND feedback from the frontlines”
this law is already traumatizing lots of uninsured low-to-moderate income people in the state.
the connector postcards are setting them up with hopes for needed healthcare. these are then replaced with fear when they look at the connector site specifics and look at their bank accounts. that is criminal.
how about the “advocates” start with an honest acknowledgement that this law is fake reform. “reform” implies positive change. there is very little fundamental positive change in the MA hc financing and delivery system in Chap 58 law.
yes, it’s very good to help more of the poor but at what cost to taxpayers due to no serious cost control measures? and it sucks to have health insurance tied to income level–this serves to keep people poor!!!!
please be honest here and work for real reform to help real people in a meaningful and lasting way, not just for lousy incremental self-congratulatory healthcare cartel approved fake reforms.
visit http://www.DefendHealth.org and http://www.Healthcare-now.org
to learn about ongoing work to create a healthcare system for people, not for corporate profits. and plese see the new documentary SiCKO. It’s terrific.
In order to make health care reform work in the upcoming year, it seems that we need a dual focus – revisiting existing and creating new policies that address pressing issues AND feedback from the frontlines about implementation. We hope by sharing the voices and observations of outreach and enrollment workers, their practical knowledge can help inform the policy discussions.
Thanks for the kudos. We’ll have another post today, and again next week.
