Making health care more affordable is good for our economy. Expanding access and lowering costs puts more money in the pockets of working families, empowers workers to seek better job opportunities, levels the playing field for small businesses and strengthens our economy by keeping our workers healthier and more productive. The COVID-19 pandemic has added a new layer of urgency to this existing issue.

A majority of Connecticut voters support a public option, and the policy has bipartisan support. 71% of people in Connecticut support a public health care option, including:

• 85% of Democrats

• 64% of Independents

• 58% of Republicans
