State ranks well overall, but lags behind peers on health care affordability scorecard.
Universal Health Care Foundation of Connecticut applauds the release of Altarum’s Healthcare Affordability State Policy Scorecard as a useful tool to help states address the high cost of health care. The scorecard ranks Connecticut 10th out of the 42 states and DC that were included in the study, and while it’s encouraging that the hard work of advocates, including Universal Health Care Foundation, has resulted in some progress, health care affordability remains a major challenge for Connecticut residents.
