Health Care Plan Costs Up 7.1% | Worcester Business Journal
Play this out - health insurance is mandatory in MA - both for individuals and for businesses to provide it to their employees.
7.1% increase. Now - play that out 10 years and remember it's mandatory.
So after 10 years of this, how will MA cope with employers and individuals paying around 70% more? That fun has yet to come.
If my family moved to MA, by law I'd have to get coverage. My rates? I'm a family of 3 making more than $52K a year which means I pay 100% of the cost.
Here are my choices. Hmmm, so I'd have to pay close to $800? Wow. And what will that rate be in 5 years?
