How would this Act deal with the private insurance workers and state health care workers who would be displaced by this Act?
The Act puts aside 1% of the health care system’s assets to retrain workers displaced by it for the first three years. Many of these workers would be employed by the Connecticut Health Care Trust which would administer the health care system in Connecticut. Many of the remaining displaced workers could be retrained as health care workers. Since the demand for health care will be increased by this system, there will be many openings for health care workers in Connecticut. This is a much fairer situation than the common one in the private insurance industry where insurance workers lose their jobs due mergers of insurance companies, without any concern given to their future well-being.
