Senate leader says Mass. health care ‘incredibly fragile right now’

“If you look at all of our hospitals, even our historically financially secure ones, all of them are struggling,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman, the Senate chair of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing. “All of our community health centers are struggling. And I don’t mean just that we’re trying to clean up little pockets here and there. They are really struggling. The cost of health care is just beyond what anyone I think had envisioned it would be, especially since Covid. So nobody’s on great footing.”
