The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers applauded yesterday’s defeat of Colorado ballot initiative Amendment 69. With 86 percent of precincts reporting, the amendment was headed toward sound defeat, 79.6 percent to 20.4 percent. The measure, also known as “ColoradoCare,” threatened to completely dissolve employer-provided health benefits and private workers compensation policies in the State of Colorado by creating a state-operated single-payer health regime. It would also have eroded the market for workers’ compensation policies.

This week, The Council is hosting its annual Insurance Leadership Forum in the state of Colorado, and the topic of Amendment 69 on the Colorado ballot has been top of mind. If passed, this amendment would establish a single-payer health insurance system in the state, wiping out private healthcare and workers’ compensation policies.
With the election only 5 weeks away, all eyes are on Colorado and the ballot initiative – Amendment 69 – that would amend Colorado’s Constitution, gut the state’s current healthcare system, and replace it with “ColoradoCare” – an ambiguous framework of a state-run health insurer.

The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers announced today its alignment with Coloradans for Coloradans to oppose Amendment 69 in the State of Colorado. The ballot initiative, also known as ColoradoCare, threatens to completely dissolve employer-provided health benefits in Colorado by creating a state-operated single-payer health regime. It would also erode the market for workers’ compensation policies that could unintentionally erode workplace safety policies. The amendment would be devastating to consumer choice, threatens quality of care and would cost taxpayers $25 billion.
