Related: About this forumWhat do you think of Initiative #20, the CO universal health care plan?
They are now collecting signatures to put this initiative on the 2016 ballot.
They call it the purple plan because it provides universal care that Democrats want and opts Colorado out of the ACA which Republicans want. Check it out. It may be good but it could be totally evil. You know how these things go.

(21,825 posts)We have to hope it is implemented as described though. The devil is always in the details. I wonder if this would apply to Colorado residents traveling outside the state or country.

(2,012 posts)when Hillary was trying to bring in universal health care Colorado held many discussion groups around the state. I went to many in Denver and almost every one voted overwhelmingly for single payer universal care. So I was disappointed and surprised that the Clinton, and then the Obama, administrations never gave it a chance. TR Reid is a great spokesman for it so I'd like to see it on the ballot and widely discussed. I can't imagine CO Repugs supporting it however.

Down here in Colorado Springs, most Republicans are on Government healthcare already.
Exposing their colossal hypocrisy would be a lot of fun.
