The Connecticut Health Care Security Act (PBH 5872) would insure payment for all medically necessary services, medications, and long term care for all residents of the State of Connecticut. Residents could choose any willing licensed health caregiver. Decisions about health care would be made by licensed health caregivers and their patients without insurer pre-approval.

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.
