Establishes a single payer benchmark to evaluate health care costs and proposes a plan for a single payer health care system in Massachusetts.

The bill aims to ensure effective health care as a right by establishing a single payer benchmark to evaluate health care costs in Massachusetts. The Center for Health Information and Analysis, in conjunction with the Health Policy Commission and the Division of Insurance, will provide annual reports comparing actual health care expenditures with the benchmark for 2024, 2025, and 2026. If the benchmark outperforms actual expenditures, the Health Policy Commission will submit a proposed implementation plan for a single payer health care system to the relevant committees.
