The Foundation hosted a webinar on Thursday, March 20th on the topic of potential threats to subsidized health insurance coverage and financing in Massachusetts under the new federal administration. The goals of the webinar were to:

• Provide a high-level overview of MassHealth, the Health Connector, and publicly subsidized health insurance programs in Massachusetts.
• Describe the changes in federal health care financing and policy related to subsidized coverage that are likely being considered by the new federal administration.
• Provide estimates, based on existing data, on the impact of these potential changes (in terms of dollars or lives) in Massachusetts.

The webinar featured a presentation by our colleagues at Manatt Health, as well as time for audience Q&A.
