Connecticut's small business health insurance marketplace has declined dramatically since 2015, down 62% to just 76,000 covered lives as costs climb and options dwindle. Among the major cost drivers? Over 60 state-mandated health benefits and $150 million in annual assessments and taxes, including $32 million to fund the state-run health exchange. Those fees and assessments add approximately $1,136 to the annual cost of a family of four’s health insurance policy. #connecticut #smallbusiness #affordability #healthcare #transformCT

President & CEO of CBIA, Connecticut’s largest business organization. Working with affiliates CONNSTEP and ReadyCT to build a thriving business climate for the benefit of all residents.
Great insights from the Hartford Business Journal's Greg Bordonaro, who notes that Connecticut's "future economic growth will be dictated, in part, by creating an environment that gives businesses confidence to make short- and long-term investments in the state." "The reality is, Connecticut will never be a low-cost state in which to do business, but lawmakers must support policies that help avoid future tax increases," he writes. "That includes maintaining the fiscal guardrails that have brought budget stability to the state. Additionally, improving the state’s business friendliness may be the easiest area to improve because it doesn’t require a major financial investment. Lawmakers simply must stop proposing new mandates that make it harder for small to midsize businesses to operate here." #connecticut #economy #jobs #business #smallbusiness #transformCT
Bordonaro: At midyear, where is CT’s economy?
