Hi! And apologies this message is so late :)
CT's HUSKY expansion for kids of any immigration status took effect recently, and advocates are calling for another expansion that would include residents of all ages and immigration status. Legislators have signaled they're open to debating the idea, as this story mentions: https://ctmirror.org/2023/01/10/ct-husky-medicaid-insurance-coverage-children/.
Our health reporter will definitely be keeping an eye out for any updates!

Very important wish it would happen, doubtful because CT politicians are indebted to insurance industry.

They can’t be afraid of the insurance lobby. It’s also nonsense because the state will likely contract with private health insurance companies to administer the coverage.
