Colorado is considering a bill that would create a single-payer healthcare plan. The bill would establish a 23-member commission that would design a universal health insurance system.

So this government-run system would replace the current private system but ... the bill itself does not include funding for the authority, which means that it would have to rely on private donations in order to function.

Private donations? Are you kidding me?

This whole idea of a state-run system of medical care comes, of course, from the mind of a Democrat. There is absolutely no room for any private sector involvement in this plan. This commission will decide who gets health care, and what type of health care they will receive. There will eventually be onerous taxes levied against the people of Colorado. But wait .. there's more! Deadbeats will start moving to Colorado just to take care of their guaranteed health care system. They won't have jobs or a place to live. Crime will increase. The burden on Colorado residents will increase. Health care will be rationed. But through this all the government will be strengthened ... because the government will control access to health care for the people of Colorado. Government and politicians love this stuff.
