People need healthcare." Join us in the halls of the Connecticut General Assembly, where lawmakers are considering a bill to authorize Association Health Plans in the state. This would let small employers pool risk and receive health insurance as one group, boosting their power to negotiate better value for employees. Grace Brangwynne, Policy Director for Healthcare, Insurance and Housing at the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, describes the "breaking point" of double-digit premium hikes facing small employers across the state. She talks us through the guardrails built into the current Association Health Plan proposal, the tension between market innovation and state regulation and why the survival of Connecticut’s mom-and-pop shops depends on a fundamental shift in healthcare purchasing.
