Bill > S758

This bill aims to ensure effective health care as a right. It requires the Center for Health Information and Analysis to develop a "single payer benchmark" - an estimate of the total costs of providing health care to all Massachusetts residents under a single-payer health care system. The bill also mandates annual reports comparing the state's actual health care expenditures to the single payer benchmark, and directs the Health Policy Commission to submit a single-payer implementation plan if the benchmark outperforms the state's actual spending. The goal is to determine whether a single-payer system could provide continuous, comprehensive, and affordable coverage for all residents while reducing overall health care costs.
