COMPTROLLER LEMBO SAYS U.S. HOUSE REPUBLICAN'S HEALTH PLAN WILL DENY HEALTH CARE TO MILLIONS AND DEVASTATE CT'S BUDGET“The health care plan House Republicans just passed is a gut punch to people all across Connecticut and our country. Millions could lose insurance, people with pre-existing conditions are put at risk, and Americans will pay more for less coverage – all in exchange for big tax breaks to the very wealthy. That’s wrong.
“But that’s not all that’s wrong with this bill. Women’s health care is under assault too – access to essential services for reproductive health, maternal health and child services - because of defunding Planned Parenthood. And this bill would mean cuts in the state’s Medicaid funding, devastating Connecticut’s budget at the worst possible time. This fight isn’t over and I look to the Senate to stop this bill.”
