State officials say ticks are back with a vengeance, meaning tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease will see no wain.

  UnitedHealthcare defrauded MassHealth of $100M, AG Campbell alleges Alison Kuznitz, State House News Service May 29, 2026 Attorney General Andrea Campbell sued UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company on Friday, accusing the insurer of misclassifying the conditions of elderly members and defrauding MassHealth of at least $100 million. United fired back that Campbell's lawsuit is "meritless" and inaccurately captures the purpose of a managed care program. The lawsuit revolves around MassHealth members ages 65 and up enrolled in the Senior Care Options plan. It alleges that United "falsely manipulated" their health evaluations in order to secure bigger payments, Campbell's office said. Members are assessed from Level 1 to Level 3, with higher levels corresponding to more serious conditions and higher payment rates. "The state's managed care plans need to act in good faith on behalf of their members and the financial resources of our state's Medicaid ...

  ❤️  Donate Wednesday, March 25, 2026 🌤️   Mostly sunny, with a high near 54.  Good Morning Boston, It's a big Wednesday for bills and budgets. Let's get to it: On Beacon Hill:   House lawmakers are expected to pass a bill today that aims to put new limits on federal immigration enforcement in Massachusetts. As WBUR's Chris Van Buskirk  reports , the so-called PROTECT Act would ban warrantless immigration arrests at courthouses and prohibit local law enforcement from initiating contact with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in certain instances. The backdrop: The bill comes after courthouse immigration arrests tripled in Massachusetts during President Trump’s first nine months in office.  And as WBUR reported in December , that estimate is likely an undercount. What the PROTECT Act would do: Currently, in Massachusetts, ICE agents only need a civil detainer request saying a person does not have legal immigration status in order to make a court...
