A negative pressure room inside St. Joseph Hospital, March 10, 2020. After years of deliberation and months of legislative drama, Democratic lawmakers are making a final push to reduce health insurance premiums by giving the state government new power to tell insurance companies and hospitals how much they can charge consumers. The “Colorado Option,” also known as the state’s “public option” bill, faces one of its most important tests in the state Senate, starting as soon as Tuesday. The reform legislation is a top priority for Gov. Jared Polis, and his office has pressed relentlessly to get it approved this year, but the bill’s fate has at times felt uncertain amid countless delays and rewrites.
