Establishes a fair share employer contribution to help cover health care costs for uninsured residents.

This bill introduces a fair share employer contribution to more equitably distribute the costs of health care provided to uninsured residents of Massachusetts. Employers with 50 or more employees who do not contribute to health insurance for their employees will be required to make a per-employee contribution. The amount is calculated based on the total cost of uncompensated care divided by the number of employees of non-contributing employers. The contribution rate is adjusted annually to reflect medical inflation.
