Health Care
The fight for quality, affordable health care for all continues.

In 2005, over a half a million people were uninsured in the state of Massachusetts, many of whom were members of GBIO institutions. Through listening to these members, their stories became our stories and motivated us to become active in the fight for affordable health care for all.   The passage of Massachusetts 2006 Health Reform Law was a landmark victory for GBIO and the residents of the Commonwealth of MA.  More than 430,000 residents have acquired health insurance as a result of the passage of this reform, and Massachusetts rate of uninsured has dropped from seven percent to three percent, the lowest in the nation!

However, more remains to be done. GBIO is committed to:
  1. ensuring that every member of a GBIO institution takes advantage of the new health insurance products available
  2. that our state leaders remain committed to fully funding the various components of health reform
  3. that the burden of paying for health reform does not fall on the state’s most vulnerable residents
In addition, GBIO leaders are exploring the issue of how to reduce the growing cost of health care, so that we can secure affordability of health care costs over the long run.

GBIO is a proud member of the ACT!! Coalition.
