Wouldn the Connecticut Health Care Security Act create socialized medicine in Connecticut?
No. This Act would alter the health care payment system in Connecticut, it would not alter the health care delivery system in Connecticut. Health care practitioners would remain in fee for service private practice and continue to compete with one another for business. In fact the private health care system would be strengthened by this Act because health care services currently delivered by the state would be transferred to the private sector and health care givers would be provided with a meaningful voice in determining rates and benefits, something they are deprived of under the managed care part of our current health care system.
