Today we mourn the passing of beloved CCAG leader and longtime health care for all activist Nancy Benedict who died in the early morning hours today June 3, 2010. Nancy had been active with CCAG since the early 1990s, first serving on the steering committee of the Health Care For All Coalition, then later on the Connecticut Citizen Action Group Board of Directors. In recent years she held the position of Co-Chairperson. She is survived by her husband John Murphy who is CCAG's Political Director.
