Maura Healey: “We've cut unnecessary prior authorizations that delay care…”

“In Massachusetts, we've worked to lower health care costs, to reduce barriers to care, and to make sure that people can actually access the coverage that they're paying for. That's why We've cut unnecessary prior authorizations that delay care and frustrate patients. If your doctor says you need treatment, you shouldn't have to fight through layers of paperwork to get that care. In addition, for the first time in state history, we have capped deductibles and co pays.” (05:00–05:06)
