From the Susan Bysiewicz newsletter (w/some boldness and slight editing done boldly):
Bysiewicz & Donovan to Host Health Care Round Table for Small Businesses
Please join House Majority Leader Chris Donovan and me for a business roundtable discussion regarding the Connecticut Health Care Partnership proposal.
Overall, this proposal would invite municipal employees to voluntarily participate in the state employee health care plan pool. In addition, we are hoping to launch a pilot program for small businesses and non-profits to enable their participation in the state pool. A pilot program will determine how best to administer a statewide plan and will also provide a boost to the state and local economy by reducing your health care costs. The proposal has been submitted to the General Assembly for consideration during the 2008 legislative session.
The following roundtables have been scheduled over the next few weeks, and will be open to the media. We hope that you are able to join us for one of them depending on your schedule:
