Hi Jeff, Great questions, which is why we are scheduling a health insurance program with regional experts for next April, which I'm told is closer in to enactment of the new legislation. It's my impression these sorts of details are still being hammered out. But you can always call your state rep's office for the most up-to-date information. If you find anything out, please pass it along. best, Amy Zuckerman >I know that health insurance has been discussed at length on this list >in the past, but I wasn't sure if this specific issue has been >discussed. > >Does anyone know if the recently passed Massachusetts legislation re: >healthcare for everyone in Massachusetts has provisions re: small >businesses or independent contractors? > >I wanted to know if there are any provisions in this bill where the >state will negotiate a reasonable health insurance rate and allow >self-employed people in the state to purchase health insurance at that >discounted rate? > >Does anyone know? > > >Jeff Rutherford >_______________________________________________ >Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net >Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net > >You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion list. >If you would like to change your list preferences, Go to the Members >page on the Hidden Tech Web site. >http://www.hidden-tech.net/members
