Connecticut needs transparency in health care

The current legislative session in Hartford holds promise for improving the safety and quality of health care in Connecticut. There are a number of bipartisan bills introduced by Senator Looney and Senator Fasano, as well as other Senators that call for transparency of infection rates, health care costs, prices and quality information as well as a bill to allow for dispute resolution of surprise billing and emergency services. Letters to your legislators are always encouraged and you can get more information about the bills at the CGA Public Health Committee and the Insurance Committee websites.
