Show Notes
Governor Ned Lamont proposes ending Connecticuts Community First Choice program, a Medicaid service that allows nursing home-level care at home. Critics fear long wait lists and loss of guaranteed access. Costs have surged, from $88M in 2018 to $371M in 2025. State officials aim to simplify things for families and workers. Disability rights groups oppose, calling it poorly planned and discriminatory. The proposal needs legislative approval, with no changes before April 2027.
