Patrick Defends Small Biz Health Insurance Rate Denials Worcester Business Journal

23.05.10

It’s obvious that health care costs are an enormous burden, and a serious threat to the viability of small businesses throughout Central Massachusetts.

What’s less obvious is what to do about it. Last week, Gov. Deval Patrick made a swing through MetroWest to again highlight the problem and reinforce his administration’s commitment to controlling health care costs by limiting the size of premium increases proposed by the state’s health insurance companies.

Patrick was in friendly territory at Irwin Engineers Inc. in Framingham. The company’s vice president of operations, Lana Carlsson-Irwin, said in a statement that premiums for family health insurance coverage have increased 101 percent in 10 years at Irwin, even with “significant deductibles.”

The market simply can’t accommodate the kind of salary increase that would allow employees to keep up with health insurance costs,” Carlsson-Irwin said.
