Doctors are harder to find than ever, leaving patients stranded with months-long waitlists or forced to use ERs for basic care — a crisis fueled by profit-driven healthcare systems that prioritize specialty care over primary care. In Massachusetts, this isn’t just a glitch — it’s a widespread problem hitting underserved communities hardest, creating stress and health gaps. But hope is on the horizon: a Senate bill aims to force healthcare entities to spend 15% of their budgets on primary care by 2030, boost community health center funding, and train more doctors — all to make preventative care accessible again. With a deadline looming and lawmakers from New Bedford backing it, this could be the push needed to fix a broken system.
