1. Make paid lobbyists illegal, or have a time-out so that the "People" have their elected official's attention. 2. Evaluate health care by business sector (e.g. Pharma, Insurance, Hospital, etc..) and understand their pricing margins. Follow the money trail so we can work on ‘root-cause’. 3. Make medications state-controlled. It will allow more 'bulk purchase' power for the state.

I hope Obamacare deals with high deductibles in Colorado. What is the point of having insurance if the deductible is so high you can't use it? With the cost of healthcare now, the only health insurance that is affordable is one with a high deductible. Everyone now has "catastrophic" insurance for the price of what used to be a premium plan. The only thing my insurance does for me is reduce the medical bill I get from my doctor.

I have chronic pain problems and every time I go to the doctor they do the same blood tests, say the results are inconclusive, pretend like they will follow up and then never figure out what is wrong with me or offer any kind of relief.

As a teacher and a parent, I cannot understand why in this state mental health care for children is not mandatory and considered a medical issue. It was in California. Children don't needed care when there is time for early intervention. What happens to society and those children when they grow up? I think we all know.

I know this sounds crazy but why doesn't health coverage cover a person's needs? For example if a person needs a drug for basic function and survival it should be covered. Cover the basic needs - nothing more nothing less.
