December 2007
Colorado Blue Ribbon Commission for Health Care Reform
Lewin contact: John Sheils
The Lewin Group was engaged by the Colorado Blue Ribbon Commission for Health Reform to assist in developing and analyzing alternative proposals to expand health insurance coverage and reform the Colorado health care system. Lewin first developed a “baseline” projection of what health care coverage and costs would be in Colorado in 2008 under current law for major stakeholder groups, including governments, providers, employers and families. Lewin then estimated the cost and coverage effects of several proposals to expand insurance coverage for major stakeholder groups in Colorado.
