The Connector Board’s next meeting is tomorrow, Thursday May 8th at 9am on the 21st floor of One Ashburton. Neither materials nor an agenda has been posted as of 2:30 pm Wednesday. When posted, the materials will be here.
The one item we know will be under discussion is the question of permitting individuals with an unaffordable offer of employer sponsored insurance (ESI) into Commonwealth Care. The staff will offer a presentation to the Board on the issue. On the surface, the thought of adding a potentially large group of individuals into CommCare could seem scary, and advocates are hoping the Board will think of the issue more broadly — as one with many potential solutions.
