State Could Lose $1.3 Billion From HUSKY Changes

by Christine Stuart | Apr 30, 2009 6:23 pm

A research professor from Georgetown University concluded Thursday that Gov. M. Jodi Rell’s proposed changes to the Husky health insurance program on Feb. 4 could increase the number of uninsured and cause the state to lose $1.3 billion in new federal dollars.

Jack Hoadley, a professor at Georgetown University’s Health Policy Institute, predicted that about 8,000 of the 18,000 Husky A parents would drop coverage when faced for the first time with a premium and about 1,600 of the 5,000 Husky B children would drop coverage when faced with an increased premium. There are about 345,000 residents enrolled in the Husky program.

Also Hoadley said if Connecticut follows through with Rell’s plan to increase premiums the state will risk losing $1.3 billion in federal dollars in exchange for $21 million in new and increased premium revenue.
