Fifteen percent don't receive the immunizations they need in their first three years of life, immunizations that will protect them from potentially fatal diseases.

Connecticut Health Insurance Laws
Connecticut law allows insurance companies to turn you down for coverage. However, once you have purchased an insurance plan you can not be denied renewal of your policy. Pre-existing conditions can be excluded. There are no regulations limiting premium prices for individuals with medical problems. If you are HIPAA eligible and meet additional qualifications, you may purchase coverage through the Connecticut Health Reinsurance Association (HRA). Contact the HRA for details on plans and eligibility.
