Colorado single-payer study lacks transparency

Colorado is advancing a new single-payer health care study under SB25-45 despite concerns about transparency and fiscal accountability. Critics argue that the Colorado School of Public Health has not adequately addressed prior warnings and lacks sufficient openness in the study’s design and potential costs. Supporters say the study is needed to assess feasibility and inform policy decisions for a statewide single-payer system.
