The uninsured and the debate over the repeal of the Massachusetts universal health care law.

OBJECTIVES: The debate in Massachusetts over the repeal of the first state-based "pay or play" universal health plan is discussed using data from a survey of 1066 Massachusetts households. The survey attempted to measure the problems of the uninsured, to estimate the likelihood that they would buy insurance if offered, and to calculate the proportion of the uninsured who would be covered under an employer mandate. DESIGN: A survey conducted in person and by telephone in 1066 households, with an oversample of uninsured households, using stratification, clustering, disproportionate sampling, and poststatistical weighting. PARTICIPANTS: Adults aged 18 years and older who were knowledgeable about the insurance status of persons in their household. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Insurance status, employment status, access to and use of health services, and willingness to purchase health insurance. RESULTS: First, the present system of hospital-based uncompensated care in Massachusetts is inadequate by itself to meet the needs of uninsured residents. Uninsured persons are less likely than insured ones to seek medical care for chronic health problems and serious symptoms requiring evaluation. Second, 83% of uninsured families and 24% of uninsured individual respondents would purchase one of several insurance options with 30% of the cost subsidized. Last, the employer mandate provisions of the legislation would cover 43% of the uninsured in Massachusetts. CONCLUSION: In the current economic climate, the political viability of the universal health care plan and similar national initiatives is uncertain given the intractable conflict between perceptions of the financial stability of small businesses that do not offer insurance and the health care needs of uninsured individuals.

Compulsory treatment for drug-dependent persons: justifications for a public health approach to drug dependency.

Compulsory treatment for drug users is often rejected as neither an effective nor an acceptable exercise of state authority. Recent research studies indicate that compulsory treatment can work and that, if carefully put into effect, it can represent an important public health component of the response to drug use. Finally, a program of compulsory treatment can be shaped with concerns for due process in mind, so that civil liberties will not be violated.

Fraud by physicians against Medicaid.

The inauguration of the Medicaid program in the mid 1960s ultimately led to the appearance of a wide range of new forms of illegal behavior by physicians. The fact that government authorities, instead of individual patients, were responsible for payments undoubtedly encouraged the large number of violations. A review of the background of sanctioned physicians shows an overrepresentation of psychiatrists and foreign medical graduates as well as minority-group physicians. Interviews with physicians sanctioned for Medicaid fraud and abuse indicated that they routinely placed the blame for their violations on the program, their employees, patients, or others. In particular, they find program guidelines confusing and irrational and insist that they intrude on what ought to be independent medical judgments. The enforcers, for their part, maintain that the convicted physicians are merely rationalizing self-serving and greedy behavior.
