Connecticut has 17 community health centers across 466 sites serving 452,986 patients — the #20 FQHC state by patients outside California and Texas. As an expansion state, Medicaid anchors the safety net, and H.R. 1 work requirements plus the December 2026 funding cliff are the key risks.
Patient-weighted across the 17 centers with UDS 2024 data.
Medicaid community-engagement (work) requirements under CMS-2454-IFC (80 hrs/month, full implementation Jan 1, 2027) plus expiry of the enhanced ACA premium tax credits (end of 2025) threaten Connecticut's expansion population and FQHC Medicaid revenue.
