More than 98% of residents in Massachusetts have health insurance, making it the state with the lowest uninsurance rate in the nation. Advocates fear that actions by the Trump administration threaten to dismantle programs that provide insurance and preventive care. Changes in proposed tax and spending bills could strip coverage from approximately a quarter of those enrolled in the Massachusetts Health Connector. Potential losses in health care could affect both individuals and the state's economy, reversing successes achieved since the 2006 health insurance law.
The idea of needing to unwind that now and pull back on that promise and commitment is really frustrating and heartbreaking and cruel and counterproductive,
Changes proposed in both versions of the bill...would eliminate roughly $1.1 trillion in health care spending over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
