 Dear Friend,
We are steps away from realizing our dream to have quality, affordable and accessible health care for everyone in Connecticut!
To get there, we have to call Governor M. Jodi Rell at 860-566-4840 or toll-free 800-406-1527 and tell her to sign two important health care bills into law: HB 6600, the Sustinet bill and HB 6582, the Healthcare Partnership bill.
Input from hundreds of public forums and constituent meetings with legislators has been incorporated into both HB 6600 and HB 6582, and together these bills will allow for greater cost control and increase access to health care for everybody.
HB 6600, the Sustinet bill, is the plan we have been advocating for along with the HealthCare4Every1 campaign and the Universal Health Foundation of Connecticut.
HB 6582, An Act Establishing the Connecticut Healthcare Partnership, authorizes State Comptroller Nancy Wyman to begin converting state insurance plans to self-insured plans, allowing nonstate public employers, municipal-related employers, small employers and nonprofit employers to join such plans and make conforming changes.
The State House and Senate recently passed both of these bills by large margins. However, Governor Rell vetoed important health care legislation last year, so don't take her support for granted! Call Governor Rell at 860-566-4840 or toll-free 800-406-1527 and tell her to sign the Sustinet bill and the Partnership bill into law!
When planning your call, please note that Governor Rell's office only takes calls between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
Now is the time to bring quality, affordable and accessible health care to everyone in Connecticut! Call Governor Rell today!
For more information, you can contact me at info@ccag.net.
Thank you for taking action today,
Phil Sherwood, Deputy Director of the Connecticut Citizen Action Group
