Colorado Struggles to Address Mental Health and Substance Use: A Colorado Health Access Survey Issue Brief
Opinions Improved After Medicaid Expansion, Particularly Among Coloradans in the Lowest Income Group
With our largest-ever Hot Issues in Health conference now behind us, CHI staff have been mulling over the amazing insights our attendees always offer.
Last month, the Colorado Health Institute released results from the 2017 Colorado Health Access Survey. The CHAS gives Coloradans data and insights about what’s happening in health care regionally and statewide. This year’s report included some striking figures: We learned that the uninsured rate remained at an all-time low (just 6.5 percent!) and that, for the first time, less than half of Coloradans get health insurance through their employers.
