It appears that Massachusetts' physician shortage that I mentioned in my June 2010 post "Coverage <> Access" continues to worsen. The Massachusetts Medical Society released a report today found 10 out of 18 specialties they studied to be in short supply.
Adding an additional 440,000 individuals to the insurance rolls in Massachusetts without a corresponding increase in the supply of providers seems to have really taken a toll on the ability of the state's residents to access the care their newfound coverage is supposed to have offered them.
