DENVER (AP) — A meeting of a new Colorado board charged with setting up a health care exchange could be interesting as consumer advocates call for more transparency from members.
The conflict-of-interest policy is expected to come up for debate at the meeting on Monday. Some say the board could be too friendly to the health insurance industry.
At the same time, some Republicans complain the board is too weighted toward those who support President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. Senate Republican Leader Mike Kopp last month wrote that the exchange would be unlikely to achieve its goal of reducing health care costs through free-market competition.
