CT’s June Health Reform
Dashboard remains unsettled. Mistrust remains at the core of problems in
CT. The new state HIT environmental scan mentions the need for trust a dozen
times. Medicaid policy development and
implementation remains mired in mistrust, rushing ahead without data, and a
lack of transparency. The state budget remains dreary and signals around
Medicaid from the US Senate are mixed. In good news, CT’s Senate unanimously
passed a bill to remove gag clauses so pharmacists can tell us the full truth
about our medications, their costs and effectiveness. The Health Care Cabinet
is continuing our work to control drug costs in CT with new workgroups to
develop options.
