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.
