“I am having a very difficult time paying for this. I know there are lots of people like me who live in Colorado. I think more choices could bring more competition and help make it more affordable for us.” – Liz, El Paso County “It will provide a solid basis for leading the US by creating a State Coverage Option for Coloradans to obtain affordable health insurance coverage.”
- Evon, Arapahoe County
“It's great that our government is finally taking heed to the fact that multitudes are suffering and need help with healthcare costs.”
- Kyle, Coloradan
The whole health care system is
- complicated. Option should be available
to every individual in the state. Making it available to everyone makes it simple. Simplify the system in order to make it patient-centered.
