NYT Examines Effects of MA's Universal Health Care

An article in the New York Times looks at the strain Massachusetts' universal health care law has caused on health care in the state. Primary care physicians are in high demand and many have backlogs of patients waiting to get physical exams as people who did not have insurance before the law now have insurance (since it is required by MA law) and can now receive primary care.

This article provided an interesting perspective because most articles on the candidates' health care policies simply outline their plans while this article examines the possible effects of a universal health care system, which is supported by Clinton and Obama. This article that deals with the consequences of a universal health care system is, I think, very helpful for readers, especially if they support universal health care, to know what problems that type of system will face.
