Now legislators have to start making decisions. We can be part of those decisions.</p> <p><strong>HB 5210 (An Act Mandating Insurance Coverage of Essential Health Benefits and Expanding Mandated Health Benefits for Women, Children and Adolescents)</strong> would put federal protections into state law. This bill had a public hearing on March 1 and is awaiting action by the Insurance and Real Estate Committee.</p> <p>Help us show legislators how important it is to put consumer protections - bars on coverage caps; coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, coverage of essential health benefits (hospital outpatient care; emergency services; hospitalization; pregnancy, maternity, and newborn care; mental health and substance use disorder services; prescription drugs; rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; laboratory services; preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management; pediatric services) – into Connecticut law. <strong>We can’t rely on the federal government to protect our care.</strong></p> <p>Plan for Health Care Action Day:</p> <p><strong>1:00 pm</strong> - Gather at <strong>Emanuel Lutheran Church</strong>, 311 Capitol Avenue, Hartford (across from the Legislative Office Building) for a briefing<br /> on this and other health care issues.<br /><strong>2:15 pm</strong> – Go to the <strong>Legislative Office Building</strong> to talk to legislators and show them how important consumer protections are.<br /><strong>3:30 pm</strong> – Gather at Room 2600 for closing event<br /> Information available in Room 2600 throughout the afternoon.</p> <p>Let us know if you will be there by e-mailing Jane McNichol at <a class="mailto-link" href="mailto:jmcnichol@universalhealthct.org" target="_blank">jmcnichol@universalhealthct.org</a>.<br /> Questions: contact Jane at 203-427-3909.</p> <br /><br /><br /> <h3 class="ox-47a8fdcbe3-h3"> </h3> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table class="ox-47a8fdcbe3-mcnImageBlock" style="width: 100%;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody class="ox-47a8fdcbe3-mcnImageBlockOuter"> <tr> <td class="ox-47a8fdcbe3-mcnImageBlockInner" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
