Fasano, GOP stand opposed to public option By Jenna Carlesso The Connecticut Mirror

Senate Democratic leaders on Tuesday unveiled their health care reform agenda for the legislative session that begins next month, saying they would aim to cap the price of insulin, limit the cost of other prescription drugs and extend certain types of insurance coverage to people aged 26.

First-time author bares all in online dating memoir

The lawmakers also are planning a revival of the controversial public option bill, though several have quietly acknowledged that the measure is unlikely to pass this year.

Connecticut native Dana Buckmir looks back on her experience in the realm of Valentine’s Day is on the online dating in her memoir horizon, but there’s still time “Plenty of Laughs: One for singles to find their perWoman’s Journey Navigating fect match. the Online Dating Waters.” These days, that special per- “You know there’s stuff out son may be just one click there like ‘Dating for Dumaway. mies,’ but you don’t have anything that’s based on Or hundreds, perhaps.

personal experience,” said the rookie author, who was at Barnes & Noble on Universal Drive Friday, Jan. 17 for a book signing. “I always envisioned myself as a writer, but I just didn’t feel as though I had a story to tell,” she said. See Author, A8

Few details about the proposals were offered Tuesday by the senators, who all face re-election next fall. The announcement gave them an opportunity to shift away from the more contentious topics of transportation and tolls and focus on an issue many believe will be key at the polls in November.

It was unclear Tuesday if Gov. Ned Lamont supports the Senate Democrats’ broader health agenda, but sources said the governor embraces one aspect of it — cost containment — and was to announce as early as Wednesday his plan to use his executive authority to set benchmarks for limiting price increases by providers and insurers. “The question right now isn’t whether or not we need reform. The question is: What kind of reform is best for Connecticut? What’s best for people across the state and what’s achievable?” Sen. Matthew Lesser, D-Middletown, said. Legislators said their goal is to drive down the cost of health care by 20% or more, but gave no specifics about how that might be accomplished. See Public option, A8

6. Solidify your estate plan. Pay special attention to your estate planning needs. This is a concern regardless of your age and assets. Review your will to be sure that it is current and reflects your wishes for how your legacy will be carried out. If you don’t have a will, arrange to have one prepared. Consider whether trusts need to be in place or if those in place are up to date. Also review beneficiary designations on your financial accounts and insurance policies.

In all of these matters and others, it can be helpful to sit down with your financial advisor to review where you stand and plot out your next steps for the year ahead.

At the center of their reform package are the prescription drug proposals. While few details were revealed about the insulin bill – a longtime priority for Insurance Committee Co-chairs Lesser and Rep. Sean Scanlon, D-Guilford – lawmakers said it is modeled after an effort in Colorado that caps co-payments on insulin at $100 a month for insured patients, regardless of the supply they require. Insurance companies must absorb the balance.

“You don’t know where life is going to take you,” she said. “Things fell in line for me when I stopped looking.”

In one chapter, Buckmir recounts meeting a “catfish” – someone whose profile photos don’t match who they actually are. In another, she reflects on her pickiness when it comes to finding a mate.

The Colorado law, signed by Gov. Jared Polis in May, also directs the state’s attorney general to launch an investigation into how prescription insulin prices are set throughout the state and make recommendations to the legislature.

The Health Care Cost Institute has reported that Type 1 diabetes patients – who generally must inject themselves every day — paid an average of $5,705 for insulin in 2016, nearly double what they paid four years earlier. Over the last decade, the list prices of some types of insulin have tripled, even though they’re the exact same products offered 10 years ago. The dramatic price hikes have left some people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes who use insulin to control their blood sugar levels in the position of making dangerous compromises. They either go without medication or ration their prescribed dose to prolong it until they can afford the next prescription. Democrats said the insulin bill will have several components, including a provision that gives people emergency access to the drug if they’re away from home or not near a pharmacy.

Buckmir mentioned that a sequel to her memoir may be in the works, one that may explore her experience of rekindling a “long lost love.”

“The book has those online correspondences between the narrative,” Buckmir explained. “It adds that element that makes it seem as though you’re reading a diary.”

“In life we’re all looking for love and to belong,” Buckmir said. “People aren’t alone. I talk about dating but I also talk about themes of friendship and growing up. I want to show people that there is this kind of commonality, so we can build a community.”

From A8

The legislative leaders said they would use last year’s revised public option bill – the version released in the waning weeks of the session – as a starting point for the newest effort. A watereddown version of the plan cleared the House but died in the Senate last spring.

The measure was wide reaching, incorporating everything from a state-sponsored plan known as the “Connecticut Option” to the resurrection of the individual mandate – the requirement that people have health insurance or pay a penalty – to help pay for it. It also featured a tax on opioid manufacturers, an expansion of HUSKY A coverage, a drug importation provision, and a proposal to cap

the soaring cost of health care by requiring providers, insurers, drug makers, and others to submit plans on how they would bring those costs back under a state-imposed limit. People with knowledge of Lamont’s plans say the governor will use executive authority to both set benchmarks for limiting price increases and to require health care providers and insurers who surpass the limit to draft plans for curtailing those costs. Lamont could have announced the move as early as Wednesday, sources said.

Connecticut offers some protections in the event that the federal health law is wiped out, including coverage that is known as “essential benefits” for people with pre-existing conditions. But legislators say they want to explore additional measures given the uncertainty around the ACA.

The health law has been embroiled in a legal challenge by the Trump administration and officials from several Republican-led states, who say that without the individual mandate, the rest of the ACA in invalid. A group of attorneys general from Democratic states asked the A spokesman for the goverSupreme Court earlier this nor did not return calls seek- month to review a lower ing comment Tuesday. court decision that found In addition to the public op- the ACA’s individual mantion and insulin bills, legisla- date to be unconstitutional. tors want to propose other The Supreme Court on measures for reducing the Tuesday denied a motion to cost of prescription drugs; to fast-track a challenge to the expand dental and eye inhealth law so that it could be surance for people aged 26 considered by the end of who are on their parents’ June. plans (the current age limit is 25); to enhance patients’ “Here we are at the state levrights by allowing them to el, wanting to do all that we can to protect the Affordable share personal stories with Care Act … to ensure our insurance companies when a new medicine or test is or- constituents remain healthy,” Senate Majority dered; and to create more protections at the state level Leader Bob Duff, D-Norwalk, said.

Missing from the Senate Democrats’ reform package were two controversial proposals that are expected to be debated in the coming months: An effort to repeal the state’s religious exemption from vaccines, and a plan to ban the sale of flavored tobacco and vaping products. Senate President Pro Tem Martin Looney said legislative leaders will share more on those issues in the coming weeks and are planning an announcement with their counterparts in the House. Republican Senate leaders said Tuesday they have a shared goal of making health care more affordable, but they objected to the idea of a public option. Representatives for the state’s insurance industry also have remained firm in their objection to the expansion of state-sponsored coverage. “Connecticut’s bipartisan health care reforms have made our state a national leader in addressing problems … but one-sided proposals like a public option that are formulated without all voices and ideas at the table have never proven successful,” Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano, R-North Haven, said. “A public option could move our state closer to substandard coverage. It also could threaten thousands of middle-class jobs in the insurance industry.”
