In the last legislative session, the Colorado Legislature passed a bill which commissions the Colorado School of Public Health to study how we might implement universal health care in Colorado. Universal health care simply means that everyone can get the health care they need, regardless of how much money they have.
The Colorado Healthcare Coalition, a locally-based nonprofit, believes that it is very important that CSPH understands the challenges and concerns around health care in our rural areas. CHC is sponsoring meetings to allow people to express their concerns and have that information passed to CSPH.
The first meeting will be 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 27, at the Durango Public Library. The second meeting will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 9, at the Mancos Library. We are also working on scheduling a meeting in Pagosa Springs.
These are nonpartisan meetings and everyone is invited. We want and need to hear from you. You can find more information at cohccoalition.org/news. We will also gladly except written comments. Send those to info@cohccoalition.org.
