Tell Rell to Sign HB6600 and HB6582

We are steps away from realizing our dream to have quality, affordable and accessible health care for everyone in Connecticut!

To get there, we have to call Governor M. Jodi Rell at 860-566-4840 or toll-free 800-406-1527 or TDD 860-524-7397 and tell her to sign two important health care bills into law: HB6600, the SustiNet bill and HB6582, the Health Care Partnership bill.

Input from hundreds of public forums and constituent meetings with legislators has been incorporated into both HB6600 and HB6582, and together these bills will allow for greater cost control and increase access to health care for everybody.

HB6600 An Act Concerning SustiNet Plan, is the plan we have been advocating for along with the HealthCare4Every1 campaign and the Universal Health Foundation of Connecticut.

HB6582 An Act Establishing the Connecticut Health Care Partnership, authorizes State Comptroller Nancy Wyman to begin converting state insurance plans to self-insured plans, allowing nonstate public employers, municipal-related employers, small employers and nonprofit employers to join such plans and make conforming changes.

Connecticut's House and Senate recently passed both of these bills by large margins.

Last year, Governor Rell vetoed important health care legislation and we cannot afford to assume that the Governor will support these bills this year. We cannot afford to take anything for granted.

Call Governor Rell at 860-566-4840 or toll-free 800-406-1527 or TDD 860-524-7397 and tell her to sign the SustiNet bill and the Partnership bill into law!

When planning your call, please note that Governor Rell's office only takes calls between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

Now is the time to bring quality, affordable and accessible health care to everyone in Connecticut! Call Governor Rell today!
