Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton to Debate Chairman of the Board of the Colorado Foundation for Universal Healthcare, T.R. Reid
Moderated by Todd Breyfogle of the Aspen Institute
 
Nearly two-thirds, or 62%, of all bankruptcy filings in the United States in 2007 were due to illness or medical bills according to the American Journal of Medicine. While we’d like to think that these numbers reflect the experiences only of the uninsured in America, the survey indicated that most of the participants were, in fact well educated, middle class and had health insurance coverage.
 
Industry experts agree: our current healthcare system is unsustainable. Now a group in Colorado has rallied to add an amendment to the Colorado Constitution on the ballot this November that could change the way Coloradoans receive healthcare. Amendment 69 could mean that all residents of the state will be covered by universal healthcare. But what is the cost, and what does it mean for our future?
Colorado State Treasurer, Walker Stapleton, and Best Selling Author on Healthcare Policy and Chairman of the Board of The Colorado Foundation for Universal Health Care, T.R. Reid will engage in an exciting and informative debate on Wednesday, September 21st at 7AM at the University Club in Denver, CO. Todd Breyfogle from the Aspen Institute, will moderate.
Advocates for the amendment claim that not only will the law give Coloradoans more options for sustainable healthcare; it will be a model for the rest of the country.
Opposition says the bill would be way too expensive for the state budget to handle and that this state shouldn’t be the guinea pig.
