My colleagues at the Colorado Health Institute and I have even written some of these obits ourselves.

That’s still the case for the latest version of the bill that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell released today.

While this year’s session threatened to collapse at times and was full of its share of finger-pointing and partisan politics, Democrats and Republicans managed to strike big deals on big issues.
While the Trump Administration aims to make large Medicaid cuts, Colorado lawmakers are taking a different approach.
