Connecticut Immigrant Health Care Expansion Advocated

Civil society groups in Nigeria are divided over the proposed N2.39 trillion health sector allocation in the 2025 federal budget, with some praising new initiatives while others criticize the lack of adequate funding to address healthcare needs. They highlight the severe shortage of healthcare workers and infrastructure, pointing out that the allocation fails to meet the Abuja Declaration target. In Connecticut, immigrant rights advocates are pushing for expanded health care benefits for all immigrants, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity as national politics shift against immigration. Meanwhile, Connecticut is poised to see a 6.1% reduction in workers' compensation insurance rates in 2025, reflecting a national trend driven by improved safety practices and technology. Delaware's Governor-elect Matt Meyer plans to tackle rising health care costs and access issues through an ambitious health care agenda, including Medicaid expansion and elimination of medical debt. Advocates in all regions stress the urgency of addressing healthcare disparities and improving systems for the most vulnerable populations.
