FACTOID

According to a recent study of Emergency Department (ED) visits in Massachusetts during 2004 to 2009, the implementation of health care reform in 2006 was associated with an increase of between 0.2% and 1.2% in ED visits per year during reform and 0.2% and 2.2% after reform, compared with the period before reform.
