Reply to CT residents would see billions in medical debt erased under Lamont plan: 'It's the right thing to do' by savings2015
I think this is fine, however there should be some additional caveats attached.
First, this doesn’t do anything to address the underlying issues in terms of how people are getting into this medical debt in the first place. There needs to be change around how medical systems and providers determine costs for the uninsured / underinsured.
Second, participants in the program should have to agree to regular, preventative care. The state should help them access that care and if needed, provide some financial support. Often times, large medical debt is incurred because conditions have spiraled out of control requiring significant intervention. By having these individuals access preventative care, conditions can be spotted earlier and intervention and treatment can occur, usually leading to lower costs to provide care.

Considering 75% of Reddit wants to “eat the rich”, I’d put up a triple barrier too.

Reply to comment by sld06003 in The work we’ve done in the legislature with two governors over the last twelve years is noticed again by Wall Street resulting in significant taxpayer savings. Standard & Poor’s announced it is increasing Connecticut’s general obligation bond credit rating from A+ to AA-. by senatorduff
Connecticut racked up its pension debt over 7 decades. You think it was Republicans that created the mess?

While the state made progress last year, it’s still among the worst in the nation around pension obligations.

Reply to comment by Bigshit67 in New to taxes. Confused and lost about what to do, so I need guidance. by Bigshit67
TurboTax or one of the competitors is the best way to go. It’s a guided walkthrough, it’s going to ask you a bunch of questions about your situation and the tax documentation that you’ve received to date.
It’s going to populate your tax forms, tell you what you owe or what your refund will be, and file for you.
Couldn’t be easier.
