New Colorado Law Calls for Studying Single-Payer Health Care

  • Gov. Jared Polis signed two health care bills on Wednesday in Colorado, including one mandating a study of a single-payer system.
  • This legislation follows previous attempts, including the rejected Amendment 69 about 10 years ago, aiming to explore universal health care feasibility.
  • The law directs a public health institution in Colorado to develop a report outlining model legislation for universal health care, with the analysis funded through grants and donations and scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.
  • Polis highlighted that the emergency care protections law will reassure Coloradans that they will have access to emergency medical services regardless of national developments, while also emphasizing the need to pursue broader health care improvements beyond just ensuring coverage in emergency situations.
  • The bills may initiate a path toward universal health care while maintaining private care delivery and address eroding federal protections and abortion rights safeguards.
