The Baker Administration filed a budget proposal today that, as expected, would impose a $2,000-per-employee tax on some employers to close a deficit in MassHealth. AIM opposes the assessment as unfairly burdening employers for a problem they did not create.

If you have any feedback or questions about this proposal, please contact Katie Holahan at keh@aimnet.org or 617.262.1180.
