The state board has charged with influential what "affordable" health insurance is adopted a compromise this Friday that is already drawing fire from health care advocates.
The Massachusetts Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority has also approved a plan that would cost low-income adults amid $18 and $106 a month for health care premiums, or 1.76 to 4.7 percent out of their income. A two-parent household with one child will also pay $36 to $240 a month, or 2.1 percent to 6.3 percent of their income, depending on how much they make.
"You're talking about pennies to live," said Louis Malzone, is the only board member to vote against the proposal. Malzone leads a alliance of union-managed health and welfare funds.
The amount has also been criticized by Health Care for all and many other state lawmakers who helped write the health care law that made the connector board.
