Cuts to COVID-19 testing, treatment, and vaccination worry health care leaders
March 26, 2022
In this recent Boston Globe article, Jessica Collins and other Massachusetts health care leaders share concerns about the cutbacks in COVID services and funding.
Collins is concerned the state and federal cutbacks in COVID services and funding will leave Massachusetts and the country flat-footed, should there be another surge in infections and hospitalizations.
“What’s the plan for ramping back up? Will they be using an equity-based model, with people welcome to come in, no questions asked and no insurance needed?” she said. “Don’t make us refight that equity conversation.”
