In late September, Gov. Malloy announced he would make more than $63 million in new cuts to hospital Medicaid payments. The Medicaid cuts are part of more than $102 million the governor plans to trim from the state’s budget.
After receiving push back on the proposal, Gov. Malloy restored allocations to six Connecticut hospitals: Griffin Hospital in Derby, Bristol (Conn.) Hospital, Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam, Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford Springs, Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington and Milford (Conn.) Hospital.
“We appreciate that the governor has listened to Democrats in the General Assembly and taken a first step in reversing these ill-conceived and devastating cuts to our community hospitals,” said Connecticut Senate President Pro Tem Martin Looney (D-New Haven). “The restorations cannot end here.”
