2018 CT Senate race: on Health Care


Matthew Corey: Let health care be governed by the free market

Health care cost is on the rise. We should allow the purchase of health insurance across state lines. We also need tort reform. There should be no discrimination on purchasing health care with preexisting conditions which the states should subsidize through cost effective Medicaid programs. The exchanges are in place. Let the free market compete in these exchanges so the American people can get the best rates. We also need to create large pools so individuals can get the best rates available.

Ann-Marie Adams: Expand Medicaid and reduce disparities

Adams identified issues within the education and health sectors as key matters to be dealt with in Connecticut. An issue is the health disparities in Connecticut, expanding Medicaid --which is for low-income people...[to ensure] that we're getting high-quality health care for not just middle class Americans, but working class Americans as well," explained the aspirant. "I have a track record of being an advocate for the voiceless and more than 30 years of being a catalyst for change."
