How to Choose a Health Plan
How to Choose a Health Plan Overview
As part of its landmark health reform effort, Massachusetts now requires every resident who is 18 or older to have health insurance. Individuals who cannot show proof of health insurance by the end of 2007 may face tax consequences if they fail to buy health insurance that is affordable to them. Beginning in January 2009, individuals must purchase health insurance that satisfies basic coverage requirements called Minimum Creditable Coverage. As a result of these changes, many people are buying health insurance for the first time. Finding a health insurance plan that meets your family's medical needs and fits your budget can be a challenge. This guide aims to help you avoid the pitfalls of hidden costs and incomplete coverage.
