“While the Affordable Care Act dramatically improved health care coverage and affordability for Coloradans, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to do more to cover everyone, reduce costs and disparities, and improve quality of care. We have a responsibility to achieve universal coverage in our country, and that’s why I introduced Medicare-X with Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia in the U.S. Senate. I’m grateful to Peak Health Alliance for this opportunity to discuss how we can do right by Colorado’s families, businesses, and workers by creating an equitable and efficient health care system.”
