AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to set a maximum limit on health insurance deductibles and copayments for active and retired public employees, their dependents, and survivors of deceased employees. Specifically, it caps the maximum out-of-pocket costs for individual coverage at $2,500 and for family coverage at $5,000 per enrollment year. The bill also requires any excess premium payments made by the Commonwealth or its employees and retirees to be used to pay for out-of-pocket expenses exceeding the established limits or to improve insurance benefits. Additionally, it requires local public authorities to align their health plan design features with those offered by the state's Group Insurance Commission.
