So, the federal government is giving Colorado $21 million to promote the state’s Health Care Exchange, which includes TV commercials showing people “magically transformed winning at a horse race, in a casino or at the World Series with champagne corks popping” (Herald, July 25).

Physicians are already unable to afford treating any more people on Medicare, Medicaid and TriCare at the very low price-controlled rates. Unless the Obamacare Colorado exchange pays a fair and reasonable reimbursement, patients on this new government plan will be challenged to find providers to care for them.
