State commission highlights pandemic health disparities, impacts

By State House News Service Hispanic and Black patients represented a disproportionate share of COVID-19 hospitalizations in 2020, as did patients from lower-income communities, according to a new state report. Staff from the Health Policy Commission on Wednesday presented findings from their interim report into the pandemic s impacts on the state s health care system, an analysis the agency was directed to undertake as part of a health care law Gov. Charlie Baker signed in January. A final report is due January 2022. The commission also found that fewer Massachusetts hospitals were profitable in fiscal 2020 compared to the previous year, and said that while some hospitals had negative margins last year, federal and state relief funds prevented greater losses.
