The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 3, aims to enhance health care affordability in Connecticut by mandating an appropriation from the General Fund. This appropriation is specifically intended to cover the full cost of increases in health care premiums for individuals enrolled in Access Health CT who have a household income between five hundred and six hundred percent of the federal poverty level.

The bill addresses the need for financial support in light of federal cuts to health care premium subsidies, thereby ensuring that those within this income bracket can maintain access to affordable health care. The insertion of the new legal language emphasizes the state's commitment to mitigating the impact of these federal changes on its residents.
