To Our Valued Stakeholders,<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are about halfway through the\nlegislative session this year, and we are seeing a lot of activity in health policy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Bill 1349, the Colorado Affordable Health Care Option bill<\/a>, was released yesterday. If enacted, the bill would a state option on our Marketplace. I issued a statement<\/a> about the bill and our staff and board will take some time to review the language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reminder, we have taken a position of support on two bills during this session. House Bill 1008, the Health Care Cost Sharing Consumer Protections Bill<\/a> will cut down on confusion and reduce the risk of customers accidentally going without comprehensive health coverage. House Bill 1236, known as \u201cEasy Enrollment<\/a>,\u201d would allow Coloradans to mark on their state tax return that they are uninsured and opt-in for their information to be shared with Connect for Health Colorado, so we can see if they qualify for financial help or Health First Colorado (Medicaid). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect for Health signed on to a letter<\/a> with other state-based marketplaces as well submitting a comment letter of our own<\/a> to the Department of Health and Human Services regarding the Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters. I believe these comments send a clear message about the importance of these issues in delivering our services to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the News<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colorado Sun<\/a> and 9News<\/a> covered the HB-1349 release and\nexplain in more detail about state option would work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take care,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
