SustiNet By The Numbers
Universal Health Care Foundation is dedicated to achieving quality, affordable health care for all Connecticut residents.Toward that end, the Foundation over the past several years has served as a catalyst to engage a broad-based coalition of residents in a grassroots organizing campaign that successfully won passage of historic health care reform in July 2009.The legislation creates a new health plan, named SustiNet, Latin for “to sustain” from the state motto, and emphasizesthe goal of developing a health care system in Connecticut that is sustainable.
The SustiNet legislation was based on the proposal detailed in this publication.The Foundation first released the SustiNet proposal in January 2009 as a policy brief, “SustiNet, Health Care We Can Count On.” This companion publication,“SustiNet by the Numbers: Projections of Cost, Coverage and Impact,” describes the policy and provides more detail about the economic modeling than was included in the earlier report.
The SustiNet policy proposal was crafted using as a guide the five Institute of Medicine (IOM) principles of what universal health coverage should be. It:
- includes everyone;
- is continuous and portable regardless of changes in employment or marital status;
- is affordable to individuals, especially those with limited income;
- is affordable and sustainable to society; and
- enhances health and well-being.
