Health Policy Roundtables for Legislators: Colorado’s safety net

10/8/2009 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

This roundtable looks at Colorado’s health care safety net for vulnerable Coloradans—what is the safety net? Who uses the clinics that comprise it? What impact might recent state health reforms (Medicaid expansion, medical homes, health information technology) have on the safety net? We’ll take a look at data on Colorado’s safety net and talk about what effect some of the federal health care reform options being considered could mean for Colorado if passed by Congress.
