Update on Massachusetts Health Care Reform

There has been much excitement and discussion in Massachusetts about the health care reform passed this spring. The goal of the law is to provide health care coverage to all.

One major component of the new law is that all Massachusetts residents who are not otherwise covered are required to purchase health insurance, so long as an affordable plan is available.

Although there has been little spotlight on the process by “affordability” will be defined, it is important for Unitarian Universalist supporters of universal health care to stay afloat of recent developments.

The Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority is determining what is meant by "affordable" health insurance and evaluating the content of plans offered.
