Bill > HB05340

This bill aims to establish a self-insured single payer health care program in Connecticut. The program would operate on a fee-for-service basis with individual health care providers, utilize global budgets for hospitals and long-term care facilities, expand access to all residents, and cover a wide range of health care benefits including dental, vision, hearing, durable medical equipment, and long-term care. The program would be funded through taxation instead of premiums, and would not impose any out-of-pocket costs for covered benefits. The bill also proposes to create various agencies and entities to oversee the program, and requests a waiver from the federal government under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
