CT Health Reform Progress Meter moves up to 23.7%

CT policymakers have completed 26.2% of the tasks necessary for health reform, making progress from last month. Again, Medicaid accounted for the forward progress in October’s Health Reform Dashboard. As last month, deep concerns about payment reform in the SIM process and the insurance exchange’s premium increases are holding Connecticut back.
