Health care proposals on Sept. 25 breakfast menu

GREELEY – Five proposals for improving health-care coverage in Colorado will be presented during a breakfast meeting for Northern Colorado businesses on Sept. 25.

The meeting will be held from 7:30 to 9 a.m. in the Aims Corporate Education Center, 5590 W. 11th St. in Greeley. There is no charge for the breakfast but reservations are required by calling 970-352-3566.

Sponsored by the Greeley and Evans Area chambers of commerce and the Northern Colorado Legislative Alliance, the event will feature two speakers from the Business Health Forum, Director Ralph Pollock and Associate Director Amy Fletcher.

The five proposals include individual and employer mandates for health-care insurance coverage and are the final recommendations of the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Health Care Reform to address rising health costs and how nearly 800,000 uninsured Coloradans could be covered.

Public hearings in Northern Colorado on the proposals are set for Oct. 11 at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins on Oct. 12. Both hearings will be held from 5 to 8 p.m.
