Colorado Health Op In Jeopardy

December 21, 2022 / By / All Posts, Health Insurance, In The News

Just a few days after it looked like Colorado Health Op was in the clear and moving ahead with a bright future news broke that stated the opposite. The problem with this potential closing isn’t due to the cooperative being managed wrong. This is due entirely to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) not upholding their end of the law. When the healthcare cooperatives were created there were three plans that gave the cooperative money to help them on their feet and make their way into a very competitive healthcare market. One of those plans is called the “risk corridor” and …

Individuals are choosing boutique type workout facilities that cater to their exact workout preference. Many …

It’s no secret that small business and entrepreneurship isn’t as easy of a task as it used to be. Now regulations and guidelines keep the “American Dream” under wraps. There was a time when anyone that had an idea could open a shop and peddle their wares and services, but now licenses and permits are required.  There was an article posted on Forbes not too long ago that states President Obama saying, “In fact, I’ve approved fewer regulations in the first three years of my presidency than my Republican predecessor did in his.” Well thank you for approving less, but …
