Proud to stand with @Recovery4AllCT in the fight for a budget that truly makes health care more affordable, dependable, and equitable across CT! And a joy to see #DefiantDemocratsDancing @RepAnneHughes
CT Clergy! Take action for #CTPublicOptions. Urge Gov. Lamont and Lawmakers to do the right thing- pass SB842 for our communities. Read more & sign the letter here: bit.ly/Clergy4PublicO… @SNEUCCAdvocate @RevJoshPawelek @longhillbc Spread the word, retweet & tag.
How would a public option work and why is it our best hope for reducing health care costs for small businesses and nonprofits? Listen to my appearance on @wherewelive to learn more. omny.fm/shows/where-we…
YES! Public option = more access to health care.
YES! Public option = more access to health care.
The Finance Committee officially passed SB 842, bringing Connecticut one step closer to a public option for healthcare. Huge news for small businesses and working families across our state!
🚨 HUGE NEWS 🚨 Despite insurance industry threats and millions in dark money advertising and lobbying to kill the public option, Senate Bill 842 is moving forward and has momentum. This is a huge step forward in the fight for affordable health care. Read our statements:
This comes one day after the Appropriations Committee funded #SB842 and Medicaid Expansion in the state budget. @CT4HealthCare
Time to make SB842 a reality. Thank you @SeanScanlonCT and @MattLesser, now lets get this done.
I’m glad to see the bill make it to the senate, and I'm confident that the majority of legislators will stand up on behalf of their constituents and support real reforms, including new public options, that will make health care more affordable, accessible and equitable.
Despite enormous outside pressure, legislators took a key step to advance health care legislation today. Although the current language remains unacceptable and insufficient to address the health care affordability crisis in CT, today’s vote will allow negotiations to continue.
The Finance Committee just advanced SB 842, our bill creating a public option and lowering costs for the middle class, with bipartisan support. One (big) step closer to making health care affordable for the people of CT. Let's get this done @ComptrolLembo @MattLesser !
Representative Cigna should have read this before spewing her industry lies in opposition to 842 ctmirror.org/category/ct-vi… @CT4HealthCare @CTWFP @CCAG @UHCF_CT @AFTCT @ConnAFLCIO
The Democratic budget we passed in #Appropriations tonight funds the Public Option and makes major investments in expanding Medicaid. Still more work to be done, but this is a big lift. #SB842 @ComptrolLembo @SeanScanlonCT @CT4HealthCare @lucydathan @CTSenateDems
🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 The overwhelming majority of CT residents and small business owners want legislators to TAKE ACTION and make health care more affordable. Now they need to hear from you. Call, email, tweet, send a carrier pigeon. Whatever it takes. 👉 ctaffordablehealthcare.com
Contact your legislators now and tell them to support a real public option. 📢 ctaffordablehealthcare.com/action

Urgent! SB 842 #CTPublicOptions for health care is before the Finance Committee right now. Send them a message to remove industry amendments that strip this protection and to restore the original intent of the bill here: bit.ly/PubOpAction Spread the word- retweet!
This is a must-read thread. The industry is busy cooking up lies backed by millions of dollars to kill the public option. But the truth is that the public option will save lives and money. If we get this message out, we can win common-sense reform. So help us spread the word!

Kevin Lembo says CT legislators have access to one of the most expansive, affordable, reliable, and efficient health plans in the state. They should make it available to small business and non-profits. That is - the public option bill - Read his op-ed: ctmirror.org/category/ct-vi…
A big thank you to the Hispanic Democratic Caucus for endorsing our health care reform proposal this morning! #SB842 @CT4HealthCare.

Millionaire insurance CEOs are trying to hold our government hostage and kill the public option to protect their record profits. But small businesses, nonprofits, and working people are fighting back to demand access to affordable health care. Read our statement:

Join myself and other legislative champions tonight for a discussion and rally in support of SB842, a proposal that would provide access to affordable healthcare options. Looking forward to seeing you tonight. For more information: facebook.com/events/2608481…
Certain members of the Insurance Committee chose to bow to the interests of the insurance industry rather than create more affordable, dependable options for consumers. Call your legislators today and encourage them to do the right thing for CT residents.
We'd like to extend our warmest welcome to @SenPBMiller, who is being sworn in today as our newest state senator! #Stamford #Darien
CT residents want change. CT residents want health insurance they can actually afford. CT residents want health insurance they can actually use. We have a choice to make a change and help the people of CT, or do nothing. It’s time to act.
This is year that we make health care in Connecticut more: ✅ Equitable ✅ Accessible ✅ Affordable We need to get SB 842 passed.

Let's make Connecticut a leader and provide people in our state the options they need for themselves and their families. journalinquirer.com/politics_and_g…
We can’t just “go back to normal” on health care after COVID because normal wasn’t working. Every single Connecticut resident deserves access to affordable health care. Period. Now is the time to act. Let’s get this done.
👉Check out my most recent op-ed in this week's edition of @HartfordBiz Not only will a public option bring more affordable options to consumers - it will strengthen and build on our existing relationships with the healthcare sector of our state. hartfordbusiness.com/article/lembo-…
Thank you to everyone who took the time to testify or submit testimony for yesterday's public hearing. One message was clear — we need change and immediate action, the people of Connecticut are demanding it. Onto the next step.
CT must do something—now! The choice should be simple—guarantee health care coverage and access for all people in our state. #CTPublicOptions

The pandemic has taken away health care from thousands who have lost their jobs and put even more strain on our small businesses. We need to meet the moment and guarantee everyone in CT has access to affordable health care. We can't wait. @CT4HealthCare
It's critical that we address the health care crisis in CT this year and I'm grateful that the leaders of the Senate and House, Sen. President Looney & Speaker Ritter, have made it such a high priority. Let's get it done.
