Connecticut Senate Approves Legislation To Expand State Health Care Plan
Supporters of the bill say it could help municipalities save money through increased purchasing power. According to the Courant, lawmakers hope the measure will save $8.6 million.
Robert Genuario, budget director for Rell's administration, said that research at the state budget office found that there would be additional expenses for the state and little or no savings for municipalities. Senate Minority Leader John McKinney (R) said that the state pool could offer savings for some organizations but raise premium rates for people outside the pool (Pazniokas, Hartford Courant, 5/7).
