Dear Leominster, Fitchburg, Worcester, Boston, And All Massachusetts Taxpayers, You Need To Have Health Insurance Is The Law!
Fitchburg MA and Leominster MA Daily News.- Yes, you heard right starting on the beginning of July 1, 2007, a new Massachusetts law will force all residents age 18 and over to have health insurance, it doesn't matter if you think that you don't need it.
There are a few exceptions to the rule, but other than that all adults need to be able to demonstrate that they have health insurance by December 31, 2007. And if you fail to prove it will lose the "tax benefit" of their personal exemption on their 2007 Massachusetts income tax return, which will be worth $219 for a person.
They also said that plans to increase the penalties will increase for 2008!
The majority of adults already have a health insurance plan, maybe through their jobs or a government program. But, if you do not have health insurance you need to hurry a get it right away to avoid paying any state penalties. One good source is The Health Connector of Massachusetts, their you can get information about their health insurance plans or of any other carriers approved by the state. Just visit MAhealthconnector.org
We will posting other Massachusetts health insurance resources on the weekend.
