Healthcare costs in Colorado are often unclear and unpredictable. Patients frequently face situations where the price of care varies widely depending on the provider and insurance.  Information about medical costs is not always available in advance. This can make it difficult for families to make informed healthcare decisions and plan for their medical expenses.

Colorado residents are calling for legislation grounded in principles that ensure healthcare prices are transparent, consistent, and fair for all patients. These principles include requiring providers to disclose a binding Maximum Allowable Price (MAP) for services before treatment, giving patients clear and reliable information about costs. They also include protections against balance billing and appropriate safeguards for rural providers to maintain access to care.

By supporting this petition, we can encourage lawmakers to prioritize transparency and fairness in healthcare billing, helping patients make informed decisions without unexpected financial burdens. Signing this petition is a way to show support for a healthcare system that is clear, predictable, and respectful of consumer rights.
