“79% of the newly insured are on public programs. Health costs will consume some 54% of the state budget in 2012, up from about 24% in 2001.  Now, all Massachusetts doctors, hospitals and other providers must register with a new state bureaucracy, as a condition of licensure, to track and report financial performance metrics. An 11-member board known as the Health Policy Commission will use the data to set and enforce rules to ensure that total Massachusetts health spending, grows no more than projected gross state product through 2017.  No registered provider is allowed to make ‘any material change to its operations or governance structure without the commission’s approval.'”
