Proponents of a single-payer state system gathered enough signatures to put ColoradoCare on the ballot

The coverage would extend to "anybody who earns income and lives in Colorado,"

Under the proposed system, people could still choose their medical providers, but the bills would be paid by ColoradoCare instead of private insurance companies.

employers would pay 6.67 percent in payroll taxes and employees would kick in 3.33 percent, for a total of 10 percent of the payroll.
