The Massachusetts Health Care Plan, or simply the "Massachusetts Plan", imposes a tax penalty anyone in the middle or upper class who chooses not to buy insurance, and provides funding for the poor to buy health insurance. It requires funding of abortion through the insurance that is purchased.

Family Research Council explains the Plan in detail.[1] The cost overruns in the first year were 50% of budget, and long waiting lists to see a doctor have developed due to the increase in people who have insurance and then want benefits from it.
