SEN. LESSER CELEBRATES RECORD NUMBER OF ACCESS HEALTH CT ENROLLMENTS FOR 2024
HARTFORD, CT — State Senator Matt Lesser, Senate Chair of the Human Services Committee, today welcomed the announcement that record number of Connecticut residents enrolled in 2024 health insurance plans through Access Health CT during the Open Enrollment period, which began Nov. 1, 2023 and ended Jan. 15, 2024.
A total of 129,000 people enrolled in a Qualified Health Plan for 2024, compared to 108,142 enrolled at the close of Open Enrollment last year. This is the highest enrollment since the state-based marketplace opened in 2013.
Included in that number are 27,393 residents enrolled with a Covered CT plan benefit. The Covered CT Program provides no-cost coverage for eligible Connecticut residents. The State of Connecticut pays the consumer portion of premiums and cost-sharing.
“Connecticut is really showing that the Affordable Care Act works,” said State Sen. Matt Lesser. “Many people this year discovered that they are eligible for completely free coverage under our new Covered CT program, and the cost of coverage has fallen for middle class families thanks to funding from President Joe Biden and our congressional delegation. That makes getting covered a no-brainer.”
