Public hearings on health insurance exchanges

The state will be holding hearings on plans for creating a health insurance exchange for CT under national health reform. The exchange is meant to be a standardized, regulated, easy-to-understand marketplace for individuals and small businesses to purchase coverage and apply for assistance. Advocates have sent a letter to the state outlining our recommendations for development of the exchange. The five hearings will be held around the state in the evenings from April 25 to May 17.
