BOSTON – Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey and New York
Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood today released the following statement:
“Yesterday’s announcement by the
Trump Administration to dramatically expand the footprint of Association Health
Plans will invite fraud, mismanagement, and deception – and, as we’ve made
clear, will do nothing to help ease the real healthcare challenges facing
Americans. We believe the rule, as proposed, is unlawful and would lead to
fewer critical consumer health protections.
We will sue to safeguard the
protections under the Affordable Care Act and ensure that all families and
small businesses have access to quality, affordable health care.”
In March 2018, the Massachusetts and
New York Attorneys General led a coalition of 17 Attorneys General in filing a
comment letter with the US Department of Labor opposing the department’s
proposed Association Health Plan rule. The full letter is available here.
