Sen. Lesser Responds to CT GOP Calls to Suspend HUSKY For Undocumented Children

Today, State Senator Matt Lesser, Chair of the Human Services Committee, issued a statement in response to Connecticut Republican leaders calling for the immediate suspension of healthcare for undocumented children.

“It’s sad seeing Connecticut’s Republican legislators trying to remake themselves into MAGA ultra-Trumpers when almost all of them voted to provide health care for undocumented children, many of them more than once,” said State Sen. Matt Lesser, “Republicans forget they supported this policy because of how important this is for Connecticut’s financially struggling small and rural hospitals burdened with the costs of uncompensated care. Never mind that this policy is the ethically sound decision, it makes fiscal sense too.”
