Dorchester Health Insurance

In 2006, Massachusetts became the first state to require nearly all of its residents to secure health insurance or be penalized by large tax penalties. Additionally, the state requires most employers to cover their employees with health insurance. Recent studies have proven that this has not had a negative impact on the cost of Dorchester health insurance rates or for the rates of any other city in the state.

Ultimately, the program has been extremely successful and the Senate Finance Committee is currently working on a national reform strategy for the total U.S. health care system, and is considering implementing the Massachusetts based tax penalties as a way to offset the costs. If you want to avoid those penalties, a Dorchester health insurance policy is a must.
