How can I get health insurance?

The good news is that in Massachusetts there are a vast array of publicly funded health insurance programs - more than almost anywhere else in the country.

The bad news is they are confusing, overlapping, not well publicized or understood and, in some case, down right irrational. We've tried to help sort them out. Click the link below or to the left that best describes your situation to see information about programs that can help you get the care you need. 

The information under these links is supplied by the Task Force. Recently, a new website has been developed in Massachusetts that uses a similar approach to help you wade through the many different insurance programs. We recommend you also take a look at that site. You may find one or the other easier to understand. All we care about is that you learn what you need.
