FACT SHEET: Colorado Health Insurance
The trend in overall health insurance coverage among Coloradans is one away from private insurance and toward public coverage or none at all. Since 2000, the proportion of Coloradans with private insurance has declined 5.6 percentage points, and the proportions with government insurance or no insurance have increased by 2.2 and 2.1 points respectively. Changes in these coverage levels since 2007 are small, and likely do not capture the effect of the recent economic recession because of data collection timing.
