Why do people in government refuse to listen when voters say no?
This year’s House Bill 24-1075 would require the Colorado School of Public Health to “research and deliver” model legislation for a single payer health care system. In single payer systems, government sets health care prices, determines treatments, and then decides who gets treated. Health care providers can go to jail for accepting any payment from any entity other than the state.
In 2016, almost 79 percent of Colorado voters rejected single payer care. They voted against Amendment 69, a single payer health plan for Colorado.
