The deception on this site is never-ending. To truly see what a mess this will be, I urge everyone t...o truly read the Initiative. There is a good reason that many Democrats are against this. Below are some of the lowlights of this Amendment:
Section 2 (2): states that a Beneficiary is someone whose primary residence is in Colorado, but it does not define what a resident is. T.R. Reid, when asked at a debate if there will be any qualifications to be a resident replied, “There MAY be”. As it is written, all you would need to do is have a foot in Colorado to be defined as a resident. This will make Colorado the Insurer to the nation.
Section 3 (1): states; “There is hereby established a political subdivision of the state called ColoradoCare. ColoradoCare is not an agency of the state and is NOT subject to administrative direction or control by any state executive, department, commission, board, bureau or agency”. ColoradoCare will have absolute power. This alone should cause this Amendment to go down in flames.
Section 4 (2g): states that The ColoradoCare Board will set their own rules regarding the selection of Board Candidates and that they will conduct their own elections, including rules that regulate campaign contributions. They will also certify their own election results.
This means they will stack the deck with the candidates they want, and certify their own results. Talk about the fox guarding the hen house. Also, the expense to run their own elections will be enormous.
Section 5 (2c): “Board members will not be subject to recall elections”. There will be zero accountability to the public.
Section 5 (5a): The Board will set their own compensation and expense reimbursements.
Section 6: A vague list of covered benefits, but they are not defined. They don’t tell how these services will be covered, what the limitations and exclusions are, if there will be a cap on your out-of-pocket expenses, etc… Prior to enrolling in a Health Insurance plan, you can view all of that so you know what you will be getting. The reason they don’t spell out benefits in the Initiative is because those benefits would be a part of the Amendment. This way, they can change and even eliminate benefits at will.
Section 9 (3) “Payment of the premium tax does not constitute the purchase of a health insurance policy”. This means that businesses and self-employed individuals will no longer get a tax deduction. That will in effect make their burden greater than 10%.
Section 11 (2a) “ColoradoCare shall not pay for services covered by Medicare Parts A, B & D”. Senator Aguilar is boasting that ColoradoCare will act as a Supplement, but the Initiative states it won’t cover anything covered by Parts A & B – that means it could not act as a Supplement.
There are more problems with this Initiative, but that should be more than enough to get everyone to vote NO on this poorly devised mess. See More

There's a new super-villain in town. Insurers + Pharma + Hospitals + other bad actors have banded together to fight common sense and preserve/magnify their outsized profits. Beware the "Partnership for America’s Health Care Future," which strongly opposes #medicareforall.
