Mashup Score: 2A year after launch, ‘HUSKY for immigrants’ sees strong demand - 19 day(s) ago
A Connecticut law expanding state-sponsored insurance coverage to certain children regardless of immigration status has seen explosive demand since it went into effect nearly 14 months ago. More than 11,000 children 12 and under who wouldn’t otherwise qualify for Medicaid because of their immigration status now receive state-sponsored Medicaid-like coverage. Before the measure went into effect in January 2023, the Department of Social Services, or DSS, estimated that roughly 4,250 kids would enroll.
