Ummmm... I skimmed it all over... just skimmed, not read *every* line... but I don't see what you're upset about. It's pretty "usual".

 

It says if they quarantine you and you don't comply (or your kids under 15), you can be fined and/or "imprisoned" (which means they'll quarantine you), that if you have to be quarantined you can apply for unemployment and can't be fired, and lots spelling out what defines a health emergency, how it's to be announced, etc etc etc...

 

Now I DID hear that the famously "humane" Massachusetts state health care system will be cutting LEGAL immigrants from it's system because they're running out of money... and that makes no mention of what happens to the ILLEGAL immigrants. :shakinghead:

 

In addition, the removal of 31,000 legal immigrants from Commonwealth Care, a state-subsidized health insurance program for low-income residents, combined with changes to enrollment procedures, renegotiated insurance rates and generally shaky budget conditions have led members of the state Connector Board to question the effect on insurers who rely on enrollees steered to them by the state.

 

Four “managed care organizations” (MCOs) provide the bulk of coverage to low-income Massachusetts residents who don’t receive insurance through their employer – BMC HealthNet Plan, Neighborhood Health Plan, Fallon Community Heaelth Plan and Network Health -- and a new entrant in the market, CeltiCare, is hoping to make inroads.

 

State leaders recently announced that most of the 31,000 immigrants removed from Commonwealth Care would be eligible for a special CeltiCare plan that provides coverage for most health services, except vision, dental, hospice and skilled nursing, and with some significant co-pay increases. The other MCOs have expressed dismay at CeltiCare’s exclusive deal, with the Massachusetts Association of Health Plans arguing that the other four plans weren’t given a fair chance to compete.

 

“I have very serious concerns about what this is doing to the margins and the service levels of the MCOs,” said Ian Duncan, a member of the Connector Board.
