It can actually be very good for the Colorado economy to take the opportunity to ensure health care for ALL.

    +Premium money stays in Colorado to produce new or better paying jobs
    +Entrepreneurs, small business people, family farmers and part-time workers have health care
    +Medically caused bankruptcies are eliminated, so businesses are not left writing off unpaid receivables
    +Creates savings for state funding of the Medicaid program
    +Gives businesses a competitive advantage to those in other states and gives them a level playing field with businesses in other countries
    +Attracts new employers to Colorado because of the reduced cost of managing health insurance for employees
    +Saves state and local money with lowered cost for insuring public employees–teachers, firefighters, police, government

    Pro-actively prepares Coloradans so we are able to successfully maneuver the coming health care challenges and crises
