ALERT: Call the Governor For New Health Insurance Options!

LET’S TELL THE GOVERNOR THAT CONNECTICUT NEEDS NEW HEALTH INSURANCE CHOICES

Connecticut has the chance to pass ground-breaking legislation (House Bill 7267 & identical Senate Bill 134) to allow the state to offer new health insurance choices, also known as a public option, for small businesses, nonprofits and individuals. We need to demonstrate to Governor Lamont that state residents need these new choices.

Please call Governor Lamont at 800-406-1527 during business hours and deliver the message below. You will not reach the Governor himself but you will probably get a chance to talk to someone in his office.

The “public option” is vital for the health of the state’s small businesses and the more than 700,000 people they employ.
