The Health Care Amendment
Despite the highest health care
spending in the nation, Massachusetts has over 700,000 residents without
insurance who are often unable to get the care they need and suffer needlessly
as a result. This proposed Constitutional Amendment would require the
Legislature and Governor to enact laws that make sure every Massachusetts
resident has access to affordable, comprehensive and equitably financed
health insurance coverage.
