I was surprised when I went to the website. I was surprised at the high cost (currently my insurance is around $900 a month for my family; through Choice it would be about $1100 for a similar level of coverage). Outreach? The Red Sox are great, but what about all those across the state working to enroll people into Connector programs with little fanfare or financial support? It is these people who must answer the hard questions about the mandate and affordability. more fully including them in the grand scheme would be a smart choice. Cost?
