Latest Updates

 Welcome to the 2010 Legislative Session!


The 2010 legislative session is underway as of January 13.  CCHI will be hard at work for all Coloradans this session. Our policy team will be at the capitol educating lawmakers about important and relevant legislation that will likely be proposed during this 2010 session. 

Send a letter TODAY to welcome your legislators to the 2010 session, and to inform them that you support policies that will increase access to quality, affordable health care for ALL Coloradans.

Take Action

 

With health care on the forefront of many of our minds, this year we have an opportunity to implement sweeping changes to our healthcare system, both nationally and on a state level.    

CCHI will be working to:
  • Support legislation that will, at long last, promote gender equality in the individual insurance market
  • Support the Governor’s plan and additional revenue options to find new sources of revenue to address Colorado’s budget crisis and the current cuts to essential healthcare programs
  • Support legislation that will improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the healthcare system
  • Resist attempts to scale back health insurance consumer protections, consumer benefits, and initiatives that will hamper Colorado’s efforts to implement national healthcare reform.

Please participate by telling your friends and networks to send a letter to their state Senators and Representatives in support of health care for ALL Coloradans.

Take action today and spread the word!
