April 14, 2025 – Advocating for Massachusetts residents and maintaining access to affordable coverage for everyone, the Massachusetts Health Connector on Friday submitted a comment letter to a proposed federal rule from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The letter focuses on proposals in the federal rule that would impact eligibility and enrollment functions for the Health Connector as well as policies in the larger insurance market. Massachusetts leads the nation in coverage rate, with more than 98 percent of residents covered according to the U.S. Census, and provisions in the rule would make it more difficult for residents to get and maintain coverage, while making coverage more expensive.
