Last month, Massachusetts passed legislation intended to ensure that all its residents have health care coverage. A controversial “pay or play” provision requires any employer with more than 10 employees to either provide health care coverage or pay an annual “fair share” fee to the state.

Various fair-share bills are pending in more than 20 other states.
