Colorado can “study” single-payer all it wants. It won’t change the facts. Wherever the government becomes the sole provider of health coverage, we see longer waits, limited access and doctors heading for the exits.
The drive for single-payer health care won’t die. Gov. Jared Polis just signed legislation to spend $400,000 on a new “study” of how to bring government-run health care to the state.
It’s a colossal waste of time and money. Decades of evidence from Canada and the United Kingdom show that government-guaranteed health insurance leads to long waits for subpar care at astronomical cost to taxpayers.
