WALLINGFORD – The Connecticut Hospital Association (CHA) applauds Governor Ned Lamont’s signing into law the fiscal year 2027 budget adjustment bill, which includes the establishment of a new, patient-focused hospital tax model.
“We are deeply grateful to Governor Lamont and bipartisan lawmakers for their leadership, partnership, and commitment to advancing a new hospital tax model that strengthens the sustainability of healthcare across Connecticut. The new hospital tax model included in the state budget represents a major milestone for healthcare access, affordability, and the preservation of the high-quality care for which Connecticut is nationally recognized.
“Developed through close collaboration among Connecticut hospitals, state leaders, and the governor’s administration, the new model will help support the long-term sustainability of local hospitals, preserve essential services and jobs across the state, and protect patient access to world-class care in every community.”
