We can never thank Dr. Stuart Altman, our founding chair, enough for his tireless work on behalf of the residents of the Commonwealth. His 10 years of service with the HPC have shaped this agency immeasurably. All our best, Mr. Chairman!

Happy 15th birthday to Mass Health Care Reform (Ch. 58), which indelibly changed health policy in MA and the U.S. The law’s passage and implementation by @HealthConnector is a unique triumph. The work goes on, though, especially on health care affordability and equity. – at Boston, MA
