June 10, 2008, Vernon, CT.
The town of Vernon and other cities and towns across the state could clearly benefit from the Connecticut Healthcare Partnership.
From my viewpoint as the working man on the street, it can be win-win situation all the way around.
The bill would help lower the cost of health care across the state, and help provide property tax relief to all residents.
Every year during most cities and towns’ budget discussion processes.
The increased health care premiums for the employee’s coverage is a nightmare for the towns to integrate into the respective budgets. This bill once approved, can expand coverage’s for all those that voluntarily join into the program in the future.
As Vernon town employee, a member local 1471 of Council 4. Also as a registered Republican.
I am respectfully requesting the governor to do the right thing and sign this bill into law. She needs to stand with all working people, and with small business which are what really makes the state tick.
Gov. Rell should not kowtow to the big, powerful insurance companies who are afraid of any new and existing competition.
Gov. Rell should not give in to the black mail threats of raising costs if she signs the bill into law.
To give a sympathetic ear to these deities of double talk and these sultans of spin is nonsense.
If other states are already providing similar benefit, there is no rational answer to her not signing the bill.
Gov. Rell please do not give into these callous castrato’s of cash ! Sign the bill.
