In Connecticut, undocumented immigrants are unable to access healthcare coverage. They can’t buy into AccessHealth CT, are not eligible for Medicaid or Medicare, and private insurance companies are either too expensive or outright reject applications from undocumented individuals.  

Our families cannot seek the proper health care we need. With 120,000 estimated undocumented immigrants in our state, this is a massive public health concern, especially in a pandemic. But it doesn’t have to be this way! CT must pass legislation to expand CT’s HUSKY Health program to all CT residents regardless of immigration status.

The 2022 legislative session is starting in February - we MUST show our legislators we support HUSKY Healthcare expansion to immigrant communities and urge them to introduce legislation and add funding into the budget for HUSKY expansion for immigrants.

SIGN THIS PETITION in support of the CT General Assembly expanding access to the HUSKY Healthcare Program to all immigrants regardless of status.
