Our Work
Somewhere inside the Colorado Health Institute’s computer server, there’s a paper I wrote that will never be published. It analyzed what would happen if the administration lost the King v. Burwell case today. Although the ACA suvived the Supreme Court again, the priority in Colorado remains the same — stability of our health insurance exchange.
Health policy discussions in Colorado and across the nation are increasingly turning to the subject of network adequacy – the narrower networks that are one result of price-based competition in the insurance market. The Colorado Health Institute has published a new report titled “Narrow Networks in Colorado: Balancing Access and Affordability.”
The Colorado Health Institute team will make its annual pilgrimage to Coors Field this week for some fun in the stadium sun. (That sun part is aspirational.)In honor of our trip, I present a baseball-themed Our Work This Week.
If you don’t spend your days watching the legislature's committee hearings and floor votes, how can you know what health policy bills passed and failed, what trends emerged from the session and what issues are sure to return next year?
Lucky for you, CHI’s annual Legislation in Review (LIR) report explains just that.
Sure, the legislature adjourned for the year in May, but is legislative work ever truly finished? Not at CHI.
A little-known provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is receiving a great deal of attention from states that are interested in the prospect of designing their own pathways to meet the law’s coverage and affordability goals
The most interesting possibility in health policy today has a really dull name. It's called a 1332 Innovation Waiver. A reference to Section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), it allows states to waive major portions of the landmark health care law starting in 2017.
Summer is just around the corner, and Coloradans will be outside hiking, biking, white water rafting and quite possibly fishing. But all of those outdoor activities pose a threat to your skin’s health, particularly in Colorado.
In this morning’s staff meeting, CEO Michele Lueck asked each of us to share the project we’re most excited about for the upcoming summer. The resulting round robin played out like an infomercial for CHI’s Greatest Summer Hits album.
We may be short one work day, but the Colorado Health Institute has a jam-packed presentation schedule planned. But before we share where we’ll be this week, we want to present our newest team member.
