Something important is happening in Colorado health care — and you need to be part of it.
Health Care for All Colorado (HCAC) is holding our 2026 Annual Meeting on Saturday, June 13th, and this year, the stakes are higher than ever. Colorado's landmark healthcare study — SB25-045 — is underway, generating independent, evidence-based analysis of what a universal coverage system would cost, save, and deliver for every resident in our state. We will share the latest update directly from the Colorado School of Public Health.
At the same time, a rare window for action is open. We are laying out a legislative path to establish a universal healthcare enterprise in 2027 — and building an option if the legislature fails to act. We'll present the full timeline at the meeting. What we do in the next 18 months will shape what's possible.
Join us free on Zoom — from anywhere in Colorado or beyond:

Colorado has tried before to build a universal healthcare system. This time is different: the research is happening, the evidence is building, and the coalition is growing. The people who show up to meetings like this one are the people who make change happen.
We hope to see you June 13th.
