Commonweath Care: low income earners’ delight.
by: Christine Zafra
A lot of Americans cannot afford health insurance, that’s a fact. But did you know that around 30,000 – 40,000 of those who do not have health insurance reside in Massachusetts alone? Yes, that plenty. Most of these people cannot afford the insurance plans their employers offer them and so, they end up with nothing.
The local government of Massachusetts gave the low income earners a way to enjoy the benefits of having their own health insurance too. They have established the Commonwealth Care health care plan (subsidized by the government) where the uninsured can go and get their desired health insurance.
