GETAWAYS & FUN
Health insurance companies are asking the Connecticut Insurance Department (CID) for its blessing to raise your rates - again.
These companies are spending billions of your premium dollars making the rich even richer, with executive pay, stock buybacks, and profits.
The CID held a public hearing on these requests in August. Click here for more information and to tell the CID to turn down these requests!
You can view CCAG's report revealing 2023 spending by just four health insurance companies on profits, CEO pay and stock buybacks here. They are making billions by rejecting your claims and raising your rates.
Clearly, our government needs to act in a much stronger manner to rein in these corporate profiteers.
Stay tuned for updates!

Tell Leadership to Support Climate Action in the Special Session!
Thank you to everyone who called Governor Lamont and encouraged him to convene a special session on climate this summer. His administration heard your voices loud and clear, and we are now one step closer to addressing the urgent issue of climate change in Connecticut.
We understand that the Governor will include climate in the special session IF House Speaker Matt Ritter & Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney agree to it.
If you agree climate legislation can't wait, please email the Governor, House Speaker Ritter and State Senate President Pro Tem Looney, urging them to support a special session on climate this summer.
Many Connecticut residents are already facing health and financial burdens from the impacts of climate change—effective climate policies cannot wait until 2025. This past session, a number of feasible bills on climate change were blocked by inaction and scientifically illiterate rhetoric.
Please send your message to leadership now! Together we can get this done.
