Polis Administration Sides with Big Insurance Carriers by Vetoing Consumer Protection Bill That Received Unanimous Legislative Support
Insurance Companies’ Unsubstantiated Claims Carried More Weight Than Unified Voice of Legislators and a Broad Stakeholder Coalition

In a move that’s shocked legislators, healthcare providers, and consumer advocates, Governor Jared Polis today vetoed a patient protection bill that received unanimous support from the bipartisan General Assembly. HB25-1088, sponsored by Representative Karen McCormick, Representative Kyle Brown, Senator Kyle Mullica, and Senator Mark Baisley, would have ensured patients received no surprise “balance bills” after seeking ambulance care.
