Support the Colorado Affordable Health Care Option!
Whether it’s contacting your legislators, volunteering, sharing your story, or sharing this information with others, we need your help to make the Colorado Affordable Health Care Option a reality!
It’s time for us to create the Colorado Affordable Health Care Option (a.k.a. the Colorado Option) and leverage the state infrastructure to bring more affordable coverage to consumers and hold hospitals and insurers more accountable to Coloradans.
The Colorado Option will:
- Lower individual insurance premiums up to 20%
- Create competition and provide choice in the 22 counties with only one insurer
- Make insurers spend more of premiums on actual care
- Set fair hospital costs while protecting rural and critical access hospitals, and
- Help more Coloradans afford the coverage they need.
Here are ways to get involved:

Take Action for Prescription Drug Affordability
Join us in the fight against skyrocketing prescription drug prices in Colorado! Drugs don’t work if people can’t afford them, and no Coloradan should have to choose between paying for basic necessities and taking the medications that will improve their health.
Take Action to Stop Surprise Medical Bills!
This spring, Colorado legislators created new and robust protections to stop surprise out-of-network medical bills and their egregious charges. Unfortunately, the new protections, which go into effect January 1, 2020, cannot protect ALL Coloradans. The new protections cannot apply to Coloradans who are insured through federally regulated health insurance plans. Only Congressional action can ensure all Coloradans share the same protections from surprise medical bills and their disastrous consequences.
