One of the most puzzling results of the 2015 Colorado Health Access Survey has to do with the relationship between dental insurance and dental visits.
In late 2015, CHI released an updated study showing how the geography of health insurance has shifted in Colorado since implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Nearly one in 10 Coloradans were unable to get a medical appointment because their preferred doctor was not accepting new patients.
The percentage of Coloradans who could not afford a prescription is at a six-year low, according to an analysis of Colorado Health Access Survey (CHAS) data.
Often, paying for medical bills can be as scary as the ailment itself.
Health care jumped to the top of the list of contentious dinner table subjects, right up there with religion and politics, during the debate about the Affordable Care Act in 2009 and 2010.
Nearly one in seven Coloradans does not have a usual place to get care when health problems arise.
Where you live in Colorado often provides one clue to your type of insurance coverage — or your lack of coverage.
What does it take to be healthy? You need to eat right, of course. Exercise is a must. And CHI has already stressed the importance of access to quality care. But there’s more to the equation.
Even though tens of thousands of Coloradans gained insurance, the coverage they received was not adequate to cover their bills and they are now underinsured.
