Massachusetts S3071 establishes a study on a public health insurance option in the Commonwealth.
Massachusetts S3071 mandates the health policy commission to conduct a comprehensive review and issue a report on establishing a public health insurance option. The report will analyze models from other states, estimate costs, and compare private health insurance rates to Medicare rates. It will also recommend a model, identify an appropriate state agency, propose funding mechanisms, and suggest eligibility and premium rates. If a public health option is found to outperform private plans, the report will include draft legislation for the legislature.
