Yesterday's Boston Globe editorial on the success of the new health care reform law was right on point, thoughtfully addressing criticisms of the measure and using facts & data to call out the law's many achievements.

As the piece articulates in detail, the new health care law has brought health insurance access to hundreds of thousands of individuals who previously went without.  It has been a model for the nation, and will continue to be examined closely in the face of November's presidential election.

Now the same coalition of government, civic, and business leaders that worked to expand health care access must come together to address the vital issue of rising costs.  The Chamber and the employer community remain committed to improving our economic competitiveness by reducing business costs - including health care - and will work with government leaders to address this issue in the weeks and months ahead.
