Bill No. 7030
A Single Payer Health Insurance bill passed the CT House Labor Committee by a 9 to 5 vote on April 6, 1999.  However, the CT Legislature's 1999 session came to an end on June 9, 1999 without the bill being voted on by the legislature. 

Bill No. 6034
This is an excerpt from Bill No. 6034 which was the precursor to Bill No. 7030.  Although 6034 is defunct the first two sections of the bill,
"Findings and Declaration" and "Intent and Purpose",  are well worth reading.
