HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Advocates for universal health care plan to rally at the state Capitol in an attempt to save Connecticut's planned SustiNet system.
The SustiNet system would initially pool everyone from state employees and retirees to the uninsured and needy into a single health care system. Advocates say it could potentially save the state $226 million to $277 million a year.
Municipalities, private employers and individuals would eventually be allowed to enroll. A quasi-governmental agency would oversee the system.

But Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has voiced concerns over the cost and says the state might want to wait to see what's happening with the federal reform plans before committing to Sustinet.
Business, faith and community leaders are organizing the rally on Wednesday.
