Massachusetts healthcare "reforms" reduce access to healthcare


The Boston Globe reports (via Don Surber):
Despite Boston's abundance of top-notch medical specialists, the waits to see dermatologists, obstetrician-gynecologists, and orthopedic surgeons for routine care have grown longer - to as much as a year for the busiest doctors.

A study of five specialties shows that the wait for a nonurgent appointment in the Boston area has increased in the past five years, and now averages 50 days — more than three weeks longer than in any other city studied.
