HUSKY aid has always had comprehensive coverage, so why isn't infertility treatment not included as health care?

Universal Health Care Foundation of Connecticut stands for fair and equitable opportunities to be as healthy as possible, and this includes #ReproductiveHealth!

[Universal Health Care Foundation @UHCF_CT]

We stand with our allies Health Equity Solutions this legislative session to pass HB 5320, a bill to increase accessibility and enforce by state accountability access to hospital financial assistance.

🏥 Did you know? Nonprofit hospitals are mandated to provide free or discounted health services to people who meet their criteria for financial assistance. However, 45% of them regularly send medical bills to individuals qualified for assistance.

[Universal Health Care Foundation @UHCF_CT]

Health inequities are a direct result of systemic racism and require MORE than just access to health care.
#HealthJustice will remain unattainable until we address ongoing barriers created to prevent folks from receiving meaningful and inclusive care.
