Dem-Led States’ Public Health Care Efforts Are Falling Apart. Here’s Why

Colorado, Nevada and Washington are still struggling to provide cheaper health care to their residents after passing laws mandating public health insurance options, according to Politico.

The Democratic-run states previously introduced laws that used the state’s regulatory authority to require insurers to drastically lower costs while providing public options in order to expand health insurance access, Politico reported. However, rising medical costs have stymied enrollment in government-run health plans that Colorado, Nevada and Washington forced private health insurers to offer to residents.
