"The Stay Covered campaign is designed to renew clear messaging to Massachusetts residents, employers, and brokers about our state's continued individual mandate and the continuing standards for coverage here in the Commonwealth. Our goal is to reduce confusion resulting from national news about Affordable Care Act individual mandate penalties being eliminated starting in 2019. It is also a precaution regarding insurance products for individuals and small businesses that may not meet state standards. Notwithstanding, the Health Connector remains committed to adequate and affordable coverage for individuals, families, and small businesses and their employees, and the essential elements of Massachusetts law that support this cause."
