  • How Will the Uninsured in Connecticut Fare Under the Affordable Care Act?

    Fact Sheet

    This state report explains how the ACA expands coverage in Connecticut, including a breakdown of how many uninsured people are eligible for Medicaid, how many are eligible for financial assistance to help them buy private insurance in the new Marketplace and how many will not receive any financial assistance at all. The report also details, in specific dollar figures, the income levels at which people in Connecticut are eligible for Medicaid or financial assistance in the Marketplace.
