The Republican Newsroom reports that there will be a slight decrease in premiums for certain Massachusetts health insurance customers. Commonwealth Care, the state-subsidized health care program for low-income individuals and families without employer-sponsored health insurance, is planning to lower rates for policyholders that choose to buy a plan other than the cheapest in their area. The Commonwealth Care plans are:
- Boston Medical Center HealthNet
- Network Health
- Neighborhood Health
- Fallon Community Health
Some areas of the state only have one Commonwealth Care provider and will not benefit from this decrease, although some plans are planning to expand. The exact amount of the health insurance rate decrease is unknown.
