The Connecticut Health Care Security Act (PHB 5872), a single payer, universal health care bill, was not raised for a public hearing by the Public Health Committee by the February 8, 2001 deadline. Despite the support of three out of six members of the steering committee for a public hearing on the bill, the steering committee did not recommend raising it. This effectively kills the bill for 2001.
