2022 CT Governor's race: on Health Care


Bob Stefanowski: Expand access to private healthcare for veterans

I will work with federal partners to expand access to private healthcare. This will allow Veterans to seek healthcare outside of the VA hospital system in underserved areas. In rural areas, this program saves hours of time spent traveling for basic medical services. Today's Veterans continue to struggle with PTSD and other mental health issues which have become worse with the pandemic. We owe it to these heroes to create access to healthcare that is as stress-free and hassle-free as possible.

Bob Stefanowski: Government option is fine, but give people more choices

My family is now part of ConnectiCare. You need a PhD to be able to figure out the options and the prices and the co-pays. We need to provide more flexibility. I think the private sector should be part of that answer. If there is a government option, that's fine, but it should be affordable, it should be good care. And people should have more choices right now, because it's becoming too much of a burden on families of Connecticut, to pay their health care costs and still get by.
