Medicaid is a vital source of health insurance for low-income families. CT's Medicaid program should allow more people to get the health care they need.

Minimum wage is not living wage. An adult with no dependents working full-time at minimum wage is not eligible for #HUSKY or #CoveredCT. #HUSKYHelps @RepAbercrombie, @Jeff_Currey, @LucyDathan, @SusanJo24607296, @MannySanchezCT, @Mbolinsky, @RepFerraro117th, @tubanoiz

The health of your mouth says a lot about your overall wellbeing. Ensuring that #COVEREDCT enrollees are aware of and can access dental services, will depend on robust public outreach. @RepAbercrombie, @Jeff_Currey, @LucyDathan, @Mbolinsky, @RepFerraro117th, @tubanoiz

Affordable care is a lifeline for many people, especially those who face barriers to health including Black, Indigenous, Latino/a, and other people of color, older adults, & people with disabilities. #HUSKYHelps

High health care costs force many people to delay or forgo care the care they need. #HUSKYHelps @RepAbercrombie @Jeff_Currey @lucydathan @Jilchrest @SusanJo24607296 @MannySanchezCT @mbolinsky @RepFerraro117th @tubanoiz

Most immigrants without documents, who would otherwise qualify for CT’s Medicaid programs (low-income adults, most children, older adults, and people with disabilities) are still ineligible. #HUSKY4Immigrants

Even with cost-sharing and premium subsidies, the cost of health insurance is unaffordable for many people in Connecticut. #HUSKYHelps @RepAbercrombie, @Jeff_Currey, @LucyDathan, @Jilchrest, @SusanJo24607296, @MannySanchezCT, @Mbolinsky, @RepFerraro117th, @tubanoiz

People moving from #HUSKY to #CoveredCT will see changes in benefits covered and provider networks. Community health workers ensure people get the care they need. @RepAbercrombie, @Jeff_Currey, @LucyDathan, @Jilchrest, @SusanJo24607296, @MannySanchezCT, @mbolinsky

Immigration status should not determine your ability to receive quality and timely healthcare. #HUSKY4Immigrants

As trusted members of the communities they serve, community health workers are uniquely positioned to help people navigate Connecticut’s increasingly complex health insurance options. #CHWs

HUSKY’s dental benefits are meaningless if enrollees can’t find an appointment. Increasing adult dental and endodontic rates is a key step in ensuring access. #HUSKYHelps @RepAbercrombie, @Jeff_Currey, @LucyDathan, @Jilchrest, @SusanJo24607296, @MannySanchezCT, @Mbolinsky

#Medicaid is a collaboration between the federal and state gov’ts that insures tens of millions of working families, children, pregnant women, seniors & people with disabilities. Without Medicaid, many of these individuals would be uninsured or underinsured #UniteForHealthCare

[Medicaid Strategy Group @MedicaidGroup]

We’re facing a critical time when states can decide whether fewer people can get health care through Medicaid. @CMSgov needs to make clear that every single person who should be covered stays eligible for #Medicaid coverage. #UniteForHealthCare

[Medicaid Strategy Group @MedicaidGroup]

#MedicaidExpansion has been crucial to making sure more people get #HealthCare. Most states have expanded the number of low-income adults who are eligible. The rest need to so more ppl have insurance, better access to care and everyone has lower costs. #UniteForHealthCare

Our health starts with where we live, work, and play. Addressing #healthinequities in America means investing in strong communities. #UniteForHealthCare #HealthEquity

[Medicaid Strategy Group @MedicaidGroup]

The pandemic has shown us exactly how pervasive racial #healthdisparities are in America. We must stand up for #racialjustice in health. Congress has a historic chance to really address this issue with @SenateBudget’s reconciliation package. #UniteForHealthCare #HealthEquity

We need a budget that funds #HUSKY4More, including low-income people & undocumented immigrants. Let's make sure #HUSKYhelps more people! @GovNedLamont, Sen Looney, Speaker Ritter, @21KevinKelly, Rep Candelora, @CathyOsten, Sen Abercrombie, Sen Fonfara, @SeanScanlonCT

#HUSKYhelps so many people, let's raise income eligibility to 201% of FPL & open the program to undocumented immigrants so we can have #HUSKY4More! @GovNedLamont, Sen Looney, Speaker Ritter, @21KevinKelly, Rep Candelora, @CathyOsten, Sen Abercrombie, Sen Fonfara, @SeanScanlonCT

SB 842 will improve access to quality, affordable health care for more people, and includes #HUSKY4More! @GovNedLamont, Sen Looney, Speaker Ritter, @21KevinKelly, Rep Candelora, @CathyOsten, Sen Abercrombie, Sen Fonfara, @SeanScanlonCT
