Mass. objects to $380 minimum coverage price
Massachusetts' Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector--the state-run organization charged with implementing the state's healthcare reform plan--is asking insurers to lower their proposed monthly premiums in order to make basic healthcare coverage truly affordable for lower-income adults. Last week the Connector outlined the requirements for coverage. They found that this coverage would cost a minimum of $380 a month, which critics say is much more than many people can afford. "Clearly, $380 is not what we consider affordable," Jon Kingsdale, executive director of the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector, told the Boston Globe. The Connector has delayed voting on minimum required coverage for two weeks. In the meantime, they've asked insurers to come up with less expensive options.
