Murphy, Christine Cohen, Robin Comey Hear About Health Care

BRANFORD, CT - From U.S. Senator Chris Murphy: U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Tuesday joined Christine Cohen, State Senate candidate for the 12th District, and Robin Comey, State Representative candidate for the 102nd District, for a roundtable discussion in Branford on what’s at stake this election for health care. The leaders discussed a variety of health care issues, including protecting people with pre-existing conditions, lowering the cost of health insurance and prescription drugs, and expanding access to mental health care and addiction services.

“A lot is at stake this election. When I travel across Connecticut, health care is one of the top issues I hear about,” said Murphy. “I’m proud to join with Christine and Robin to advocate for solutions for families who want access to affordable health care that protects people with pre-existing conditions and covers services, like mental health care and addiction.”

“As a small business owner in Connecticut, I understand the challenges with the high cost of our health care system. I would love to see a public option here in Connecticut, while we’re working out issues on a federal level, because we can effect change in the state by providing an affordable option for residents,” said Christine Cohen, State Senate candidate for the 12th District.

"Parents of kids with chronic illness shouldn't have to choose between buying their medication and putting food on the table,” said Robin Comey, State Representative candidate for the 102nd District. “I"m committed to working in Hartford to help our families address the most serious public health issues that they face on a daily basis.”
