Charter Oak Health Plan

{It}

For the first time, health coverage access for adults of all incomes
 
Whether you believe health insurance is a right or a privilege, there’s no arguing that it is a necessity.  But for many Connecticut residents – employees of small businesses, people between jobs, young graduates, early retirees — affordable health coverage has been out of reach.  All that is changing with the Charter Oak Health Plan.
 
For the first time, Connecticut adults who aren’t lucky enough to get health insurance on the job will have access to decent, affordable coverage.  Charter Oak offers coverage to the uninsured and to many adults experiencing financial hardship in paying unaffordable, non-group premiums on their own.
