Husky For All is a plan for a state-based health care payment plan that would be accessible to all Connecticut residents and would replace the need for private or employer-sponsored health insurance. 

In 2023, there were 195,000 uninsured people in CT.  Being uninsured or under-insured prevents people from being able to access preventative care, recommended health screenings, and even treatment for acute and chronic health conditions. 

Even people with "good" insurance are burdened with high premiums, high copays, and restrictions on covered services or medications. 10.2% of CT residents report having medical debt, compared to the national average of 8.6%. These high costs can result in people having to delay or skip needed care, reduce other household expenses, take money out of retirement savings, or increase credit card debt. 

As our population continues to age, our life expectancy in America continues to decline, the hospitals and medical offices continue to be over-whelmed, and the cost of health care and medications continue to rise, NOW is the time to ensure that ALL Connecticut citizens have coverage without the high cost burden imposed by private insurance companies.
