In August 2003, the Connecticut General Assembly passed the state’s budget for fiscal years 2004 and 2005, directing the Department of Social Services to impose premiums on families with incomes between 50 percent and 185 percent of the federal poverty level in HUSKY A, the state’s Medicaid program. This issue brief discusses the impact of these premiums on HUSKY A enrollment.
This issue brief is part of Families at Risk, a series of policy briefs exploring the consequences of changes to the Connecticut’s Medicaid system included in the state budget for fiscal years 2004 and 2005 and was funded by the Connecticut Health Foundation and the Anthem Foundation of Connecticut.
