The Massachusetts Health Connector has provided robust feedback on the proposed 2022 NBPP updates, strongly supporting the repeal of the direct enrollment option to safeguard consumer protections and ensure transparency in health plan selection. The letter also endorses the restoration of the 2015 Section 1332 waiver guidance to uphold comprehensive coverage standards and promote health equity. Additionally, the Health Connector celebrates the extended open enrollment periods as a critical step toward improving consumer access to affordable health coverage. These measures, the Health Connector emphasizes, will strengthen market stability and advance equitable access to high-quality care for all residents.
