A new non-profit in Massachusetts plans to raise $50 million over the next three years to support innovative efforts to fight opioid addiction and substance abuse.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren took direct aim at President Donald Trump from the first sentence of an address to New England business leaders Monday, and did not retrain her sights throughout the 15-minute speech.

Senate President Stan Rosenberg said Thursday the American Health Care Act would deprive the state of federal dollars, leading to untold budgetary troubles on Beacon Hill.

A new potential health care plan would apply more evenly across employers than the first proposal, but would generate less revenue that the $300 million the administration was counting on.

Gov. Charlie Baker estimated the American Health Care Act sponsored by Republican leaders in Washington would result in $1 billion less in federal revenue for Massachusetts in 2020.

The Baker administration is said to be willing to back away from controversial proposal to impose a $2,000-per-employee assessment on companies that don't meet certain health insurance requirements.
