HARTFORD,CT-GREEN PARTY CO CHAIR JEAN DE SMET WILL TESTIFY TODAY THAT THE STATE SHOULD ADOPT A UNIVESAL SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE PLAN, INSTEAD OF THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP’S STOP GAP MEASURE TO “FIX” HEALTH CARE AT A STATE HOUSE HEARING.

  
 

  
     DE SMET, a former candidate for Lt. Governor in the last election, will speak for the thousands of the parties supporters for a “universal system’ that covers everyone in the state and “not to throw money into a failed program” or continue to “fix” the current system.
