Any of the people you do functions with who don't have health insurance should absolutely investigate MassHealth. If they make "too much" (like, $60K/year for a family of three, which is 400% of the poverty level), they can still enroll their kids in the plan that Joshua is in, The Children's Medical Security Plan. (In fact, Joshua was automatically enrolled in CMSP when we no longer qualified for MassHealth.) I like living in this state; if we ever get rid of all the graft, our taxes will REALLY be doing something. :)
