Updated OP: Prominent Democratic Consultants Sign Up to Defeat Single Payer in Colorado

9. I've mixed feelings on this

I like the idea of singl payer health care, not just for the US but for the world. I'm less enthusiastic about a state by state effort starting here.

We already have faster-than-average growth due to people wanting to smoke legal cannabis. That's pushing up rents, putting pressure on infrastructure. I've been here a long time and remember when there was 15-20 miles of undeveloped land between the south end of Denver and the north end of Castle Rock. I will be very sad when the I-25 urban corridor stretches unbroken from Ft Collins to Pueblo.

Having single payer would bring even more people wanting better, cheaper, more secure health care. I'm less certain it would bring as rapid an expansion of health care provider infrastructure.

Colorado is leading the way on full cannabis legalization. I'd be fine with letting a different state lead the way on this.
