THIS WEEK AT THE COLORADO CAPITOL | week of April 19-23, 2021 coloradopolitics.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from coloradopolitics.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Five years ago, Colorado voters soundly defeated a government-run health-care plan, Amendment 69, voting NO by a margin of four to one. Reps. Dylan Roberts of Avon, Iman Jodeh of Aurora, and Sen. Kerry Donovan of Vail have decided they know better than the voters, so they’ve introduced House Bill 21-1232, the “public option” bill.
It could impact some of the biggest moments in your life. Having a baby, dealing with a cancer diagnosis, taking your little one for a check-up. This bill cuts payments to your pediatrician, your oncologist, your family care doc, which means they have to cut services or pass the cost on to you.
Medical professionals in white coats were seen all over the state Capitol Friday, on hand to testify both for and against the Colorado Option Health Benefit Plan Act.
On the third try, House Bill 1232 got in front of the House Health & Insurance Committee Friday in a 10-hour hearing that drew more than 100 witnesses to the Capitol or to testify remotely.
But negotiations between bill sponsors and the healthcare industry that went on all day Friday meant that the bill was not ready for action, including amendments. That s now delayed until Tuesday.
The bill has been a battle royal between the Polis administration and the healthcare industry.
