Colorado: C4HCO issues sober statement on the path forward.

via Connect for Health Colorado:

Our Work Continues Post-Election

I want to acknowledge the questions about the future of health policy since Tuesday’s election.

We’ve successfully navigated periods of uncertainty like this several times in the past, including eight years ago, and we didn’t do it alone. You, our customers, stakeholders, and partners, make it possible to move forward together.

There are several things that we know.

The Affordable Care Act is still the law of the land.

Senate Bill 11-200, the state law that created Connect for Health Colorado, is still the law of the state. There are several other important state laws that ensure quality, affordable, and comprehensive health coverage for Coloradans.

There are significant savings available to customers who enroll through the Marketplace for Plan Year 2025.

We know this may be a particularly difficult time for immigrant families to navigate. We remain committed to protecting customers’ privacy. For OmniSalud customers enrolling though Colorado Connect, we will not and have never asked for their immigration status. Colorado Connect does not share customers’ personal information with federal partners for any purpose, and the information included in the application cannot be used for immigration enforcement.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to increasing access, affordability, and choice for all Coloradans purchasing health insurance in Colorado.

As we continue getting Coloradans covered during Open Enrollment, we have an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need access to health coverage and who need help getting there.

Thank you for your partnership.

Take care,

Kevin
