Our bet is that most people will pick ColoradoCare because it’s going to be so much cheaper.”

No, Blue Cross and Aetna would not likely be operating in Colorado. And a mandatory 10% tax leaves zero room for choice. Either pay it or leave Colorado.

It is unbelievable that administrative expenses will be held to to 3.8% when the Colorado Obamacare exchange costs over 4% and doesn’t even process claims. Medicare costs over $12,000 per person, every year. A Colorado government scheme will be equally inefficient and expensive.

I don’t understand the coercion. Why is participation not a choice?
