Governor proposes more cuts to health care

To address the growing budget deficit, the Governor’s mitigation plan includes $13.7 million in new cuts to health care programs. The cuts include higher copays and premiums for HUSKY Part B and Charter Oak families, cuts to community and school-based health centers, cuts to Medicaid providers, reductions in hospital DSH payments for the uninsured, new cost sharing for Medicaid clients, and cuts to vision, transportation, dental care and outreach. Something for everyone.
