AI Summary

This bill aims to alleviate skyrocketing consumer health care costs by amending Section 10 of Chapter 6D of the Massachusetts General Laws. The key provision is that the Health Care Financing Commission can now impose a civil penalty of $500,000 per day on health care entities that fail to file or implement a required performance improvement plan in good faith, or knowingly provide false information to the Commission. This penalty is intended to incentivize health care entities to comply with the Commission's oversight and cost-control measures.
