Maine Policy Review Cited in U.S. Health Care Cost Analysis

A recent Bangor Daily News op-ed written by Maine Policy Review author Daniel Bryant highlighted a discussion on the hidden costs within the U.S. healthcare system and the implications of a single-payer model. The mention underscores Bryant’s research in Maine Policy Review that uses 2020 Maine data to examine three healthcare cost categories: health services, payer expenses, and costs to Maine residents from taxes and premiums to emphasize that single-payer advocates will need to educate both the public and lawmakers about these cost considerations to build support.
