HEALTH CARE REFORM
We have a moral obligation to provide equal access to affordable health care for all people. Everyone should have the ability to thrive physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Health is more than the ability to see a doctor when we’re sick, it's the foundation that allows us to care for our families, contribute to our communities, and live with dignity.
Across our many faith traditions, caring for our neighbor is a sacred calling, a reminder that we are responsible for one another and that every person is worthy of wholeness.
But today, too many Coloradans struggle to get the care they need. Rising costs, insurance barriers, and under-resourced systems leave people—especially working families, children, and those in rural and remote areas—without timely or quality care. Powerful industry interests continue to protect profits over people, making the health care system harder to navigate and putting basic wellbeing out of reach for millions.
We must come together to build a health care system rooted in equity, compassion, and community. Together Colorado leaders are organizing across the state to defend and expand access to affordable care, reduce costs, strengthen the Affordable Care Act, and ensure every eligible child can enroll in the programs they need.
Join us to ensure every Coloradan has the care, resources, and support they need to live their healthiest life.
HEALTH CARE CAMPAIGNS
We have carried this vision in our hearts as we worked on numerous health care campaigns in the past: supporting and advancing the ACA, implementing Bridges to Care (which included home visits to assess people's needs), championing All Kids Covered, leading a coalition to reform Colorado’s Non-Emergency Medicaid Transportation (NEMT) system for equitable access to providers, and testifying on critical healthcare legislation across the state.
After several years advocacy by our coalition, the CO legislature passed SB25-045, Analysis of a Universal Healthcare Payment Plan for Colorado. The Colorado School of Public Health will complete a thorough analysis by Dec 2026.
We are working to raise the $750,000 needed for the study and organize to make access to quality care available to all Coloradans. We'd love your help.

Leaders are co-leading a coalition of healthcare advocates to reform the Non-Emergency Medicaid Transportation system (NEMT) in Colorado to further ensure the equitable access to healthcare for all clients.
Together Colorado is a member of the All Kids Covered Coalition striving to reduce the number of uninsured children in Colorado. Our state is a leader in covering kids. Roughly 9 out of 10 children have health insurance Yet, about 102,000 children are still uninsured. That's still too many.
Together Colorado successfully helped to implement The Bridges to Care project in Aurora, Colorado. The Bridges to Care project follows an initiative developed in Camden, New Jersey by Dr. Jeffrey Brenner called “Hotspotters” that focuses on getting patients and resources out of overcrowded emergency rooms and into quality primary care. It creates better and more cost-effective care for older adults and people with disabilities nationwide supported by Medicare and Medicaid policy.
The earth is sacred. We must live in balance with all of creation, using only what we need, and recognizing that there is enough for all.
We desire a merciful, rehabilitative justice system that maintains the hope and human dignity of every person.
