Cities Taking Charge on Health Care
Denver Mayor Jon Hickenlooper and Shepard Nevel, Colorado Health Foundation Vice-President of Policy and Operations, published an op-ed on the Denver Post website discussing challenges facing the current health care system, especially in urban areas.
"Health care in Colorado and nationally has reached a tipping point, nudged by unsustainable cost increases and an economic crisis that has exacerbated the challenges of uninsured and underinsured, critical provider shortages, stark disparities based on income and ethnicity, fragmentation of services, and a payment system that discourages quality and efficiency.
