"Governor Romney and the Massachusetts Legislature have come together to
develop a bipartisan approach to address the issue of access to affordable
health insurance. The legislation is a path-breaking attempt to apportion
responsibility for expanding access among all stakeholders.
"Policymakers left many of the details of implementing the new law to the
regulatory process. We will be working with our members to help create the
environment necessary for this legislation to succeed, including sufficient
flexibility to develop quality products at an affordable cost.
"Our members look forward to working with the Massachusetts Department of
Insurance and the new regulatory agency created by the legislation to ensure
that the program fulfills its promise to Bay State employers and consumers."
