- Healthcare and You: How Decision 08 could affect Your Healthcare Coverage.
- WGBY's Watercooler host, Susan Kaplan, talks to Peter Straley, Presidnet and CEO of HNE; Deborah Banda, AARP Massachusetts State Director; and Frank Robinson, Executive Director of Partners for a Healthier Community in Springfield about the Presidential candidates' Health Care proposals and how Massachusetts' experience with Health Care Reform may impact the national debate.
- 440,000 Insured Under Massachusetts' Health Reform Law
- "Big hats off to the business community for doing the right thing," said James M. Kessler, vice president and general counsel for Springfield-based Health New England, one of a half dozen companies that offer coverage through Commonwealth Choice.
- Insurance Studies Planned
- The mayor also said the city has received $360,000 in federal Medicare Part D reimbursement for the drug coverage provided to retirees in 2006 and has applied for 2007. "This is very good news and we have reduced our health insurance costs from $12.7 million to $12 million by auditing premiums and getting people to shift from the more expensive Blue Cross-Blue Shield to Health New England," he said.
