"The quality of Connecticut's healthcare system is among the best, however rising costs make accessing health coverage a barrier for far too many people, and that is why our administration is focused on addressing the policies and cost drivers that factor into these prices. This is a complex issue that needs to be tackled from multiple angles and we need the involvement of all parties -- insurers, hospitals, doctors, employers, and consumers -- in this effort to provide real solutions to lower healthcare costs. I value the willingness of the Connecticut Hospital Association to sit down with our administration and work on these issues together."
