Health care reform highlighted
Posted by ConnPolitics.tv Staff on November 29th, 2009
Hartford (AP) – Organizers say the national debate on health care reform will be a central theme at this year’s World AIDS Day event in Hartford.
State health department figures estimate nearly 20,000 people in Connecticut have the HIV virus, and more than 10,000 are living with HIV/AIDS.
The state is 14th nationwide in AIDS cases per capita.
World AIDS Day, which started in 1988, is marked with events around the globe to remember people who have died of the illness and push for research into a cure. Hartford’s event will include addresses from city and state officials and people living with AIDS.
It starts at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Connections Drop-in Center in the Institute for Community Research, 146 Wyllys St., Hartford.

which Mike Oliphant, whom manages www.benefitsmanager.net for Utah based health insurance plans for employers could get
behind and support some of it (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or H.R. 3590).
This should encourage the private sector health insurance carriers to form INSURANCE EXCHANGES which is what we have
done here in Utah. They carry the risk and burden, not the tax payer. See more about this at www.utahhealthplans.info
You would be surprised about the willingness of carriers to co-share risk amongst their immediate competitors. They simply
focus on profit from the 4 to 5 percent administration fees. A government run public option could not achieve this.
