Governor Rell VETOES the Connecticut Healthcare Partnership

Governor Rell sided with insurance companies, brokers and the Connecticut Business and Industry Association (CBIA) over workers when she vetoed the Connecticut Healthcare Partnership earlier this month.  The legislation would have opened the state employee health insurance plan to municipal employees, non-profit organizations and small businesses.  H.B. 5536, passed both chambers, would have expanded the size of the state plan and used its increased bargaining power to negotiate lower insurance rates for everyone.  Municipalities could have passed the savings on to taxpayers in the form of property tax relief. 

Call Governor Rell and tell her you are disappointed with her VETO!
