#1/3: MA Gov. Healey, in her State of the State address tonight promised to bolster primary care in MA. Earlier, the state’s Health Policy Commission warned in a new report that the # of PCPs in MA is shrinking and doctor’s offices are shouldering a “high administrative burden.”

#2/3: That means patients turn elsewhere for care. Per a 2023 survey, 2/3 of those who went to an ER for a “nonemergency condition” did so because they couldn’t get an appt w/their PCP. Healey promised to “shift healthcare resources to the front lines,” to grow the PC workforce.
