Tell Lawmakers to Oppose the Public Option


Tell Lawmakers to Oppose the Public Option

House Bill 1232, the Colorado public health insurance option proposal, was heard in committee last week after hours of testimony. The bill would create a government-run public option if the health care sector doesn’t independently meet sweeping cost reduction targets over the next few years.

We’re concerned that this proposal will result in a significant cost-shift for employer-sponsored health care plans, making it more expensive for businesses to provide these benefits to their employees.

Discussions are set to continue in committee next week. Will you tell members of the committee to oppose HB 1232? Contact members of the House Health & Insurance Committee using our simple tool here.
