Senate Bill 342
is HIGH RISK

The Side Effects Aren’t Worth It.

Well-intended policies should not come at the cost of affordability. These proposed policies shift billions in costs onto Connecticut families and small businesses — putting coverage, wages, and access at risk.1

Families Will Pay More

From higher monthly premiums to bigger co-pays and deductibles, families of four face up to $2,800-$3,600 in added costs per year.1 This isn’t abstract policy — it’s real money many families can’t afford to lose each year.

Businesses Will Pay More

These policies could be the difference between offering coverage to employees or dropping it — meaning you may lose access to employer coverage entirely. Without these plans, countless workers would be left to fend for themselves.

Connecticut Will Pay More

Over the next 10 years, utilization management restrictions will add up to $11.6 billion in added cost to the State Employee Plan, with an additional $1.43 billion added thanks to restrictions on claims editing and downcoding.2

SB 342 is well intentioned, but is the wrong approach and would be too costly for CT families.
