Mass-Care Slide Show on the Massachusetts Health Reform

In April of 2006, the Massachusetts legislature passed a major health care reform bill, known as Chapter 58 (Chapter 58 of the Laws of 2006). It attempts to extend subsidized health care coverage to uninsured people below 300% of the poverty line, and includes a controversial “individual mandate” that will attempt to force many uninsured people to purchase their own health care on the private market, or they could face thousands of dollars in fines.

Where did this law come from? What has happened to similar laws passed in other states? What will happen? And how will it affect you? Find out the answers to these questions in Mass-Care’s comprehensive powerpoint presentation on Chapter 58, below. If you would like to arrange for a Mass-Care speaker to give the presentation in your community or to a group that you belong to, get in touch with us through the contact page!
