What is the mood in Colorado on scraping obamaCare for single-payer?

From an outsider, it looks like it will break the bank.

Even the Progressive Gov Chickenlooper doesn't think it has a chance. Who knows what free crap people are willing to vote themselves.

A few years ago there was a ballot measure to raise taxes 950,000,000 for schools. They spent 20+ million on ads in favor and under 100K in ads against. The measure lost 2 to 1. I believe it will fail by a similar margin.

Isn't "single payer" the preferred outcome of the TPTB anyhow?

Hi Mike,

If someone told you in 2010 that Colorado would have banned normal capacity magazines would you have predicted it failing as well?

Not quite apples to apples there. The magazine ban came in the wake of the Aurora massacre, so it is reasonable to assume some form of anti-gun agenda will get traction, even if such legislation would not normally pass.
