FY18 Conference Committee Report Senate #58
Vote Description
What the conference committee budget lacked in reforms for MassHealth, it made up for with higher fees on employers to pay for MassHealth’s growing costs. The public had less than 24 hours to review the budget before lawmakers were expected to vote on it.
Mass Fiscal Explanation
Mass Fiscal supports a no vote because the conference committee’s budget did not include reforms to MassHealth, just higher fees for employers, resulting in bad fiscal policy.
