Governor Deval Patrick plans to announce a spending proposal tomorrow that retains medical coverage for some 30,000 legal immigrants who are at risk of losing it, and will also agree to ensure dental coverage for another 700,000 of the state’s poorest residents, administration officials said yesterday.

"The fuzzy math behind the Massachusetts universal healthcare law is starting to add up - just as Washington studies the law as a possible model for the nation," columnist Joan Vennochi writes. "Because of a recession-related drop in state revenues and a surge in enrollment by the recently unemployed, the truth is emerging at an inconvenient time. Massachusetts doesn’t have enough money to pay for the coverage envisioned by the law."

Jonathan O. Cole, the former chief of psychopharmacology at McLean Hospital and the first director of the psychopharmacology research branch at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Md., died May 26 of complications of renal disease at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
