Chapter Organization

As of early 2018, Colorado has a newly chartered statewide chapter, PNHP-CO. We believe that we have the best chance in decades to pass national single-payer health care reforms, and that Colorado physicians advocating for a true single payer system can play a key role in making that happen.

An ad hoc steering committee is meeting to decide on our first steps. We will be reaching out to current and former PNHP members across the state in the near future.

ColoradoCare Ballot Initiative

An initiative to amend Colorado’s constitution and create a taxpayer-funded health insurance cooperative (ColoradoCare) was on the state’s ballot in 2016. It did not pass. PNHP has a short analysis of ColoradoCare here.
