A New Health Plan for Colorado is Announced
In a press conference on July 6, 2010, Governor Bill Ritter announce a new federally funded health plan, GettingUSCovered. This plan provides health coverage to uninsured Coloradans with pre-existing medical conditions.
GettingUSCovered is a new, comprehensive health plan that will provide a strong statewide network of doctors, a prescription plan, preventative coverage, and more. It was established to expand coverage to Coloradans who have been uninsured for at least six months and who have a medical condition that prevents them from getting insured. Check out the GettingUSCovered website for more details on the plan and how to apply.
