Employer-Sponsored Health Coverage in Massachusetts Health Reform

Categories: | |

Topics: Access/Barriers | Employer-Sponsored Coverage | Health Care Reform | Legislation (State & Local) | Out-of-Pocket | Spending | State Data

This study presents the results from 2008 surveys of working age adults regarding Massachusetts' 2006 health care reform law.  The surveys show that access to and quality of health care has increased; however, premiums and out-of-pocket costs have been an increasing issue for smaller firms.
