Take Action for Health Care Reform in Our State and the Nation

Through our united efforts, we are seeing some great changes in Connecticut during this legislative session.

SustiNet (HB6600) passed the House 107-34 (click here to see the House Vote), 35-12 in the Senate (click here to see the Senate Vote). Take a moment to thank your legislators via email or telephone and encourage them to contact Governor Rell to sign HB6600 and HB6582 (AAC Establishing a CT Health Care Partnership).

Our jobs are not over until these bills are made law. Let's each take a moment to contact Governor Rell and share with her why signing these bills into law is an historic step for Connecticut, bringing quality affordable health care to all of our fellow citizens. Call her today at 860-566-4840, toll-free 800-406-1527, and TDD: 860-524-7397.
