RSG | Families at Risk: The Impact of Premiums on Children and Parents in HUSKY A

More than 86,000 children and adults, or 30 percent of all HUSKY A enrollees, could lose health coverage if the state imposes new premiums on Medicaid enrollees, according to a new policy brief. Of those who would lose coverage, approximately 69 percent would be children. The other 27,106 are parents or pregnant women. The FY04-05 state budget imposed premiums on HUSKY members; federal approval is required before these premiums can be implemented. The analysis was conducted by Georgetown University’s Health Policy Institute and Connecticut Voices for Children.
