Healthcare Reform In Colorado Part Two: Individual Mandates
November 26, 2007 5:14 PM
After more than a year of input and analysis, Colorado's bi-partisan Blue Ribbon Commission on Healthcare Reform has recommended the state adopt a Massachusetts-style "individual mandate." That means everybody has to buy health insurance, or face a fine. The state subsidizes the cost for those with low incomes. KCFR had reporter Martha Bebinger see how the idea is working out in Massachusetts.

One of those ideas is the so-called "employer mandate," that's where businesses have to provide insurance for their employees, or face a fine. KCFR's Andrea Dukakis has more.
