Colorado single-payer health care initiative

samedi 14 novembre 2015 à 01:00

Colorado is considering a ballot initiative for single-payer health care.

I am concerned that this is not a large enough step to work. Many low-paid workers have been forced to be "independent contractors", and I think many of them can't afford to contribute 10% of their pay for medical care.

I don't see how health care for the unemployed would be covered, and I don't see anything to push gouging prices down. Perhaps the scheme has measures for this which are not mentioned in the article. If not, I think it won't work.
