2022 CO Governor's race: on Health Care


Greg Lopez: I believe in free-market health care

I believe in school choice, less regulation, protecting the 2nd Amendment, free-market health care, constitutionalist judges, less spending and smaller government through Tax Payers Bill of Rights--TABOR, enforcing our laws and protecting our boarders, "legal" immigration not "illegal immigration."

Greg Lopez: Would take a hands-off approach to health care

He would take a hands-off approach to health care. Less government and more competition would lower prices faster than regulations that drove them up. Ultimately, society has to lower health risks to reduce costs on health care, not government squeezing the market, Lopez said. "Any time the government has gotten its hands on a program, I'm yet to see it do what they said it was going to do," he said.

Heidi Ganahl: Opposed legislation creating public health insurance option

Ganahl opposed a measure aimed at lowering health care costs by creating a public health insurance option in Colorado. Ganahl penned an op-ed citing her recent experience having a brain tumor removed. "The proposed Colorado Affordable Health Care Option is not the broad solution politicians claim," wrote Ganahl in her column. "With unintended consequences to quality and access, it may force hospitals to eliminate some critical care functions. It may even endanger miracles like mine."
