 HUSKY
is Connecticut's health insurance plan for children.
(The letters stand for
Healthcare for UninSured Kids
and Youth.)
It offers a full health
insurance package for children and teenagers up to age
19. It
pays for doctor visits,
prescriptions, vision and dental care, and much more.
When families enroll their
children in HUSKY, they choose the doctors and other medical
providers participating in one of several health plans. For
most families, HUSKY is low-cost or free. But even families
with high incomes can join at a group rate. HUSKY can also
help parents, relative caregivers, and pregnant women,
depending on income.
