Unfortunately CT’s progress
toward health reform dropped again this month to 26.4.5% this month, adding
to last month’s dip. News that the only about half of AccessHealthCT consumers
are even using the coverage they pay dearly for, increasing concerns about SIM’s
ethics and grants to insiders, SIM’s cool reception to consumer protections in
risky financial models, transparency issues and budget cuts all contributed to
the decline. Only Medicaid offered bright spots this month including a sharp
reduction in phone wait times and a continued commitment to strong stakeholder
engagement in reform planning. The CT health reform progress meter is part of
the CT Health Reform
Dashboard.
