2 Mission: To promote health care coverage across the state. The Connector is accomplishing this mission by:  Developing Commonwealth Care: A government-subsidized health insurance for qualified uninsured individuals whose family income is 0% - 300% of FPL.  Developing Commonwealth Choice: A non-subsidized health insurance for small groups and individuals.  Policy responsibilities: o Defining “minimum creditable coverage” o Determining “affordability”: In turn determines exemptions from the individual mandate.
