Affordable Care Act

Donald Trump tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act—also known as Obamacare—during his first term. Senate President Martin Looney said he might support the state declaring an emergency and cutting into the budget reserve to cover Medicaid costs if the administration slashes funding this time around.

Open enrollment for 2023 health plans on Connecticut’s Affordable Care Act exchange begins Tuesday.

Connecticut residents might not see their medical costs go up next year. This is despite double-digit rate hikes that were approved for 2023 plans offered on the state’s healthcare exchange.

Insurance regulators in Connecticut are to hold a public hearing on Monday to review the double digit rate hikes requested for 2023 by the health insurers participating in the state’s health insurance exchange.

Despite calls from the state’s attorney general and health care advocates to hold a more formal hearing on a proposal to substantially increase rates on 2023 health plans, Connecticut’s Insurance Department will proceed with its usual informational hearing, albeit in a new location.
