Does the state government in Massachusetts put you in jail for not having health insurance? |
Since the state mandated it in '06 Do the people in jail get free health care then? Actually, the law doesn't go into effect until 7/1/07. It also doesn't apply to illegal immigrants, or those under 19 years of age. A special exemption can be granted to residents who can prove they're unable to afford health insurance. This law does not include a penalty of jail for violations. Beginning with the 2007 state income tax return, those who refuse to enroll in a health insurance plan (either through work, on their own, or through the State high risk pool, known as "The Connector") will lose their personal exemption, worth roughly $200 a year. And beginning on January 1, 2008, uninsured people will be subject to penalties of roughly $150 a month. That's tough, but it's necessary to change the behavior of people who are used to going without insurance, either because they are healthy or are accustomed to relying on the Uncompensated Care Pool to pay for their care. |
