Welcome to jenflanagan.com

Thank you for visiting my website! Here you are able to learn more about me, the issues and updates for the Worcester & Middlesex State Senate District. I am proud to represent Ashby, Bolton, Precincts 1&2 of Clinton, Fitchburg, Gardner, Lancaster, Leominster, Lunenburg, Sterling, Townsend and Westminster.

In 2013, the composition of the District will change... Ashby will join the current Worcester, Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin District and the Worcester & Middlesex District will gain Berlin.

While the Senate has accomplished a great deal during the 2011 session, much remains to be done. Improving the oversight and accountability of education collaboratives remains a high priority. The high costs of health care and energy remain a major concern for the Commonwealth's families and businesses. We look to address those issues in 2012, in addition to our annual work on the budget and to finishing our work with the House on state finance law reform, CHINS and criminal justice.

I will continue to strongly advocate for North Central Massachusetts so that our communities are an even better place to live, work and learn! Feel free to contact me at anytime at 978-466-8605 or info@jenflanagan.com.

Respectfully,

Jennifer

Senate Approves First-In-Nation Payment Reform Bill

BOSTON – Crunching through 265 amendments during two full days of public debate, the Senate on Thursday capped a framework of nation-leading health care reforms with landmark cost-control legislation that will save the Commonwealth $150 billion in the next 15 years while improving the quality of care and increasing the transparency and accountability of the state's entire health care system. The bill passed 35-2.

Health spending is projected to double from 2009 to 2020, outpacing both inflation and growth in the overall economy. Massachusetts residents, businesses, and state and local government continue to struggle with increasing premiums and other health care cost sharing.

"With the skyrocketing costs of healthcare, this legislation will benefit every individual, family, business and government entity in the Commonwealth," stated Senator Jennifer L. Flanagan (D-Leominster). "I am once again proud of Massachusetts for taking another important step to in health care delivery, access and containing costs."
