ARE YOU A CURRENT OR FORMER HEALTHCARE PROVIDER? |
|
Last year, over 400 health care providers signed on to a letter in support of expanding eligibility for HUSKY, Connecticut's Medicaid program, to include undocumented members of our community. The CT legislature passed a bill in response which provides HUSKY care to all children ages 0-12, regardless of immigration status. This session we are asking healthcare providers, current or former, to urge our lawmakers to support legislation expanding HUSKY eligibility to those up to age 26, regardless of immigration status because you know first-hand what it means to have healthcare coverage… or not. Please CLICK HERE to fill out a form to sign on to the letter. and please share with your colleagues! Thank you. David Vita, Legislative Advocacy, david@uuwestport.org
