New Health Care Law and its affect on artists and non-profit cultural organizations.
In April of 2006, the Massachusetts Legislature enacted the Health Care Reform Law, landmark legislation to provide health insurance for nearly every man, woman and child in the Commonwealth. The Health Care Reform Law affects everyone. All Massachusetts residents over 18 years of age are required to have health insurance by December 31, 2007.
The new health care system is a significant change with potential benefits for artists and arts-related employers alike. However, to navigate the new system successfully, it is important for you to take initiative and the time to educate yourself about the new requirements.
