Melissa in the Morning: Health Insurance Increases

Connecticut regulators are cutting back proposed health insurance increases for 2027, but premiums will still rise by double digits.

The state says its review cut more than one-hundred million dollars from insurers’ requested increases, affecting about 220-thousand residents. We spoke with state Senator Jeff Gordon who is also a doctor about the increases.
