Their FAQs talk more about how the trustees that will oversee the health care fund get appointed (this group pushing the initive left slots for their organization to get Trustee positions), and not enough about the actual care covered. So mlany questions.

• Would you get care out of state? (My cancer doctor is out of state, but what about while traveling too?)
• What is the "streamlining" process they talk about? Some states, this proposal has meant cutting out fraud prevention as a way to mathematically save money; in reality, we all watch American Greed, there is a ton ofl provider-based medical expense fraud, which would increase the costs to the system if not monitored
• What if they aren't able to negotiate with a certain provider or for a certain medication - would we still get the state reimbursement for their portion and we pay the rest, or are we just stuck paying cash for that provider and that medication? Right now, if a doctor doesn't want to negotiate, and you have a PPO, you just pay a higher cost, but the majority is still covered - Same with a Medication, it may just be a higher tier; but if they just completely shut it out, you may have to pay the full price... This isn't answered in their FAQs.
• The providers in MA have very high reimbursement rates in my experience; I pay far more for a dentist or doctor than in other states. Would these doctors keel over, or band together. Would the system just say "we don't need Mass General Brigham and their associated physicians" if they weren't willing to lower their rates? Negotiating is a two way street; maybe the Health Care Trust can hold the line with them, and not negotiate higher; would Mass General and other providers end up lowering wages due to the lower reimbursements? Paying nurses, doctors, technicians, security guards, all less?
• This is adding a tax to a lot of people, I know for my wife and my coverage, our cost of the tax would be significantly higher than our healthcare cost is now; I know that's not necessarily for everyone, but if you have good coverage from work or a spouse who currently carries your coverage, your costs are going up.
• On that topic, how many people will leave the state with an extra 10% tax? Was this factored into their numbers? Just like we saw with the recent millionaire tax bill, the people who put the law together fairly projected that many millionaires would leave the state to avoid the tax and projected a lower tax revenue than if they stayed; has this healthcare proposal factored in the revenue loss from more high-taxpayers leaving?
• It seems like most of the people this is intended to help already can get care with MassHealth or Connector Care. Why don't we just improve Connector Care a tad, rather than uprooting the rest of us - especially with voting for this based on a lacking FAQ; I read the law too, which isn't better.

Berkshire East aka Berkshire Ice!!!

It’s going to be tough getting 4 bds on 1/3 of an acre for under $1M in Arlington

It saved me 7K in dental expenses just in the past year, and I only had to wait about a month to get an appointment.

Thats my personal experience.

Skiing in VT and NH is certainly better than skiing in eastern Canada. Tremblant is a lovely resort town but nothing super special in terms of skiing, and while I've heard le massif gets tons of snow it's pretty small.

The Canadians all come down to ski Jay.

Skiing in MA has gotten worse over the last 20 years, not better. There are a few little places just outside of Boston (Wachussett and Nashoba Valley), and some places out in western Massachusetts (Jiminy, Butternut, Bousquet, etc) but for anything decent we go up to VT, NH or ME.

If you are in the area Berkshire East is worth it. It pretty fun. Ski there for a couple days then head north.

I don’t understand. I think wachusetts is at the bottom of the Mt in Massachusetts. Place is super busy, expensive and boring. My favorite place is Berkshire East, almost no wait in line. Terrain is better and I don’t feel like I’m going to get killed by some kid.

Having an agent is awesome. Switched from liberty mutual to safety and saved a ton of money.

I love that I have an insurnace agent. I never have to go to the registry. She handles any issues I have. She's always telling me about ways to get lower rates. And when there is an issue, I can just go to her office, no need to call the insurance company and talk to three different people before getting an answer on anything. I think having an insurnace agent is well worth it.

Skiing in New England is in the same price range. Even small MA mountains are expensive (eg: $69 for a day pass to Ski Bradford in Haverhill).

>Ive looked online and haven't found anything about that fee or if a shop is required to fail a car with illegal tint.

Then you haven't looked very hard.

Franklin, Medfield, and Medway are decent options for what you're looking for.

We are all millionaires

Love living in Plymouth

Blackstone Valley.

Mendon is part of the Blackstone Valley. Quaint town. Close enough to Milford that you don't miss not having stores close by. As others said zoo, drive-in. Some good restaurants. Easy access to Boston/ Worcester.
Not sure on tax rate. They also don't seem to have many condos or apartments from my knowledge.

If you can get it USAA

lol lawn is the best. the seats suckkkkk lol

Youll probably be living in the woods with a super long driveway

Came here to say precisely this

Let’s put it this way, people from New England ( Ice Coast) pay money/ save up to ski out west/Colorado I’ve never met someone from out west that says “I can’t wait to ski the east coas”

But "fuck you" is what they'll tell you if you need a (nonemergency) service outside of Massachusetts. In fact, I know someone who was in the DC area and an ER doctor called MassHealth claiming that they needed something emergently, and MassHealth vetoed the doctor and told them to fly back to a Massachusetts hospital.

Enjoy the upcoming strip club.
