Colorado HB 1273: single-payer dead…for now

From the Denver Business Journal:

A proposal that would have taken the first steps toward a government-run “single payer” system to handle health care reimbursements in Colorado was dropped by its sponsor on Wednesday. …

Although the bill is dead for this session, [Bill sponsor Rep. John]Kefalas said in a statement that his fight for universal coverage has “only just begun.”
