Connecticut families who rely on Access Health CT for their health coverage will save an average of $220 per month in premiums. Because of the clean energy investments that will be made as a result of this law, our consumers they will enjoy lower utility costs and cleaner air. I thank and congratulate President Biden and Connecticut’s congressional delegation on this great achievement.”
