Everyone in Massachusetts should have affordable, quality, and equitable health care.
MLRI focuses on the health benefits programs administered by the MassHealth agency and the Massachusetts Health Connector that currently provide affordable coverage to over 2.4 million state residents.
Our health care advocacy includes:
- eliminating administrative barriers that discourage or deny individuals from securing state subsidized health coverage for which they are eligible.
- addressing gaps in coverage individuals experience when transitioning between different state programs.
- promoting equitable access to affordable health coverage by addressing racial disparities in health and tackling policies with racially disparate impacts.
- expanding access to affordable quality health care for all, including immigrants, postpartum and pregnant people, children, and people with disabilities.
- fighting policies that will restrict access to coverage and care.
- reducing justice-involved individuals’ barriers to accessing health care, led by the communities that are most directly impacted.
