The health care crisis in Massachusetts is increasingly impacting Watertown residents and others across the state. The bankruptcy of the Steward Health Care System and the unfair profit-driven practices of insurance corporations, hospital conglomerates and “Pharma” have increased premiums to make insurance and needed care out of reach for thousands of working people, while the ability of our businesses to hire, grow and promote their employees diminishes. The costs incurred under the current healthcare system are an unnecessary burden to individuals, families, businesses, cities and towns, including Watertown.
