Health Care

 We Believe… 

  • Affordable health care for all Americans is essential and achievable. 
  • A healthy population benefits us all and strengthens our economy.
  • The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), signed into law on March 23, 2010, is a good step toward providing healthcare for all Americans.
  • Further efforts to reduce health care costs are essential.
  •  The process for accessing health care insurance should be clear cut and easy for the average person.
  • A Single-payer health care system is needed.  A Single-payer system is medical care funded from a single insurance pool, run by a state or Federal Government . Under a single-payer system, universal health care for an entire population can be financed from a pool to which many parties  – employees, employers, and the state  – have contributed.
  • Existing non-profit organizations in Chaffee County that provide health services are an important factor in providing necessary health services.
