Focus of the Health Care Committee

The Health Care Committee is continuing to study efforts to address health care reform in Colorado including the Colorado Exchange pursuant to SB 11-200 as well as plans for a cooperative health care plan for Colorado. Depending on developments, we will present units on one of these topics in March, 2013.
