New Massachusetts Health Plan

Affordable health insurance plans are currently being voted on in Massachusetts that would cost residents $175 a month for comprehensive coverage.

All American Patriots reports that different levels of medical insurance will be offered with a variety of network providers. Lower priced plans will also be available for uninsured individuals between the ages of 19 and 26.

10 insurance carriers bid on providing the plans, and the Massachusetts Connector Authority approved 7:

  • Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Massachusetts
  • ConnectiCare
  • Fallon Community Health Plan
  • Harvard Pilgrim Health Care
  • Health New England
  • Neighborhood Health Plan
  • Tufts Health Plan

The affordable health plans are aimed at individuals, small businesses, part-time workers and independent contractors. The Connector board asked for bids from insurance companies three months ago, but bids came back too high. The Connector and the governor then asked the carriers to make the health plans more affordable.

If this plan works, Massachusetts will lead the way in health insurance reform. The thinking behind the plan is that if everyone is covered, health care costs will decrease. Families and small business don't have to pay a lot for a good health plan, low cost health insurance quotes are available online.
