Their charge is to develop a framework for a system of universal coverage, and since the federal legislation leaves 24 million uninsured at the end of 10 years (Senate), their will remain a gap that Sustinet will be trying the address. The problem, of course, is funding. CT has a deficit of $500 million + already this year, and the initial projections for Sustinet were ~$1 billion or a a year. There will be additional federal monies for the state to use, which can probably be funneled through Sustinet to use, but we'll have to see what the ultimate details are to get a clearer idea.
