General Assembly Powers Through Medicare Savings Plan Veto

(CBS Connecticut) — By overwhelming majorities, the General Assembly today over-rode a veto from the governor, and restored funding to a program that helps poor seniors and disabled people pay Medicare health coverage premiums.
The funding runs through the end of the current fiscal year, at the end of June.
Democratic Senate President Martin Looney says the outcry about earlier cuts to the program show that Connecticut residents expect a higher level of benefit than the national average.
