Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Right now, this bill is just a title moving slowly through the Massachusetts legislature. It deals with consumer deductibles, which usually means how much you pay out of pocket before your health insurance kicks in. Because the actual text is missing, we do not know if it will lower your costs or raise them. We will keep an eye on it as lawmakers fill in the blanks.
