How Have Employers Responded to Health Reform in Massachusetts?
Employees' View at the End of One Year
Published: October 28, 2008
In April 2006, Massachusetts enacted legislation that sought to move the state to near-universal health insurance coverage, with key components of the reform effort targeting the role of employers. Based on surveys of working-age adults ages 18–64 in Massachusetts in 2006 and 2007, this paper examines employers' responses to health reform as reported by their employees. Results suggest that at roughly the end of the first year under health reform, employers in Massachusetts had made a few changes in the insurance coverage they offered to their workers.
