Klarides-Ditria: Hospital settlement saves state money

State Rep. Nicole Klarides-Ditria

HARTFORD - State Rep. Nicole Klarides-Ditria, R-Seymour, released the following statement regarding the approved hospital settlement passed in the legislature during a special session earlier this week.

"Governor Dan Malloy and legislative Democrats broke their promise to Connecticut hospitals and we now are paying the price for their mistakes," Klarides-Ditria said. 

"The settlement that we agreed to with hospitals today saves the state from paying nearly $4 billion and creates stability for hospitals for the term of the settlement. I will always support our hospitals and will make sure that the state continues to keep our promise to them and the thousands of workers they employ."

The settlement that was passed means hospitals will receive an additional $872 million from the state over seven years. 
In addition, the deal increases the annual Medicaid rate, 2% for inpatient care and 2.2% for most outpatient services starting Jan. 1 and will reduce the tax burden on hospitals.

If the settlement was fully litigated it could have cost the state nearly $4 billion.

This is a press release from Klarides-Ditria's office.
