MassHealth and Medicare each provided primary health insurance coverage for more than 1 million Massachusetts residents from December 2013 to March 2016, while around 4 million Bay Staters were covered by private commercial insurance, according to a new report from a state agency.
More than 160,000 of those covered by commercial insurance received subsidies, according to the July 2016 Enrollment Trends report from the Center for Health Information and Analysis. Enrollment in subsidized private commercial plans doubled from March 2015 to March 2016, "as Massachusetts residents increasingly purchased coverage through the Massachusetts Health Connector," the report said.
Last cycle's Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney may be considering an endorsement of the Libertarian ticket that includes another former Republican governor of Massachusetts, Govs. Gary Johnson and Bill Weld told CNN on Thursday.
Johnson and Weld, the Libertarian presidential and vice presidential nominees, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer during a live interview in Philadelphia that they have spoken with Romney and believe he may be considering a formal endorsement of their ticket.
