Affordable Care Act
Connecticut, like other states, launched an online health exchange -- Access Health CT -- where residents can shop for and purchase health insurance. There could be new opportunities for the unemployed or uninsured to receive health insurance. Here, we gather our coverage of changes under the new federal law.

A new commander in chief will lead the nation in January and some Americans are wondering about what he will do to keep our planet healthy.

This hour, we consider how a Trump Administration could impact global efforts to tackle climate change and how health care might evolve under the new President's watch. 

We’ll check in with a reporter at a global Climate Change Conference in Morocco to find out how nations are reacting to the President-elect. And later we’ll hear regional perspectives on how a new administration could transform the federal Affordable Care Act.

Do you have questions about the future of your health coverage?
