of the Denver market showed the area’s 27 hospitals netted a combined $2 billion in pretax profits in 2018, with average profit margins exceeding 19%.
“We’re getting close to the mark because some of the hospitals and pharmaceutical companies sent out a mailer against the public option,” Polis said Jan. 14 at a public forum on the proposal. “We must be getting something right if they’re that worried about it. But it also adds insult to injury for those of us who are consumers of medical services … to know they’re using some of that money from overcharging to lobby against reforms that are saving people money.
The proposal, though not as disruptive as a “Medicare for All” or single-payer approach, would be a step toward government-run health care. Colorado’s approach could provide a blueprint for moderate Democratic presidential candidates promoting a public option on the national level, much in the way Massachusetts provided the basic framework for the Affordable Care Act.
