An Act establishing a study of a public health insurance option in the Commonwealth
Senate: Bill reported favorably by committee and referred to the committee on Senate Ways and Means
Summary
The bill directs the Health Policy Commission, with input from the Center for Health Information and Analysis, the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority, and the Division of Insurance, to examine public insurance options elsewhere and estimate costs for a Massachusetts public plan. It must recommend a model, administering agency, funding, eligibility, premiums, provider rates, and other details, and if the analysis shows cost savings versus private plans, include draft legislation to implement the option. The final report is to be filed with legislative leaders within a year of the act’s effective date.
