CT Health reform dashboard – no movement from December

As the ACA’s individual mandate, exchange coverage and dozens of other provisions becomes effective this month, CT has only achieved 28.3% of necessary benchmarks for effective health care reform, according to this month’s CT Health Reform Dashboard. This is exactly where CT was last month. Uncertainty and a lack of protections in the SIM process and unaffordable coverage in the insurance exchange are holding CT back. Medicaid and patient-centered medical homes are once again CT highlights.
