Healthcare Trust Fund

Modeled on Baby Bonds, Connecticut can invest in a healthy future for all. Sustainably funding a public option for the next generation.

Idea: Pre-funded Public Option

Create a healthcare trust fund that invests in biotech companies who pursue curative and preventative medicines.
- Use that fund to incentivize biotechs and small pharma to move to Connecticut
- When the fund matures use the proceeds as a basis for establishing a public health insurance option
Baby Bonds passed last year provide several thousand dollars to each child born to a family below the poverty line. These children will be eligible to cash in these bonds to buy a house, start a business or go to school in Connecticut.
- This is Long Term investing in the people of Connecticut without bankrupting the system
