AI Summary

This bill proposes to establish a single-payer health care program in Connecticut. A single-payer system is a health care model where the state government, rather than private insurance companies, would be responsible for paying all health care costs. The bill specifically allows the state to negotiate health insurance coverage for three types of entities: nonprofits, municipal employees, and small businesses with ten or fewer employees. By centralizing health insurance negotiations, the state aims to potentially streamline health care coverage, reduce administrative complexity, and provide a more uniform approach to obtaining health insurance for these specific groups. The bill represents an initial step towards creating a state-managed health care coverage system that could provide more direct control and potentially more affordable insurance options for certain organizations and workers in Connecticut.
