The survey finds strong opposition to Amendment 69, the ColoradoCare universal healthcare plan. Among all respondents, 27% would vote yes and approve the amendment, 65% would vote no and reject it, and 8% of voters are undecided. Intensity is very strong among voters who oppose the amendment, with 45% of respondents saying they definitely intend to vote no. Only 10% of respondents definitely intend to vote yes. Not surprisingly, support for Amendment 69 is strongest among Democrats and voters aged 18 to 34. However, slightly more Democrats oppose the amendment than support it, 45% to 41% respectively. Among all voters aged 18 to 34, 40% support it and 59% oppose it.

This article just ended up in my “inbox” this morning (I subscribed). The administration is poo-pooing the huge Obamacare premium rate increases by claiming that most of the enrollees are protected by subsidies. Turns out that is not true (I am shocked that they lied again .... NOT).
HALF of enrollees do not get a subsidy. Trump should be campaigning on this now that there is data to back it up - these folks being burned by Obamacare should be voting Trump:

Fortunately, obamacare has been too bad, the socialists actually over-achieved on something (well, they over achieved on failure, so I guess that's not surprising). obamacare has been so bad there simply aren't that many people in it. There's no massive outcry for a government solution. Instead, people are looking at 69 and realizing that yes, this would give Colorado the highest State tax rate in the nation. Yeah, jumping Colorado from something like number 12 on the list (only 11 States with lower taxes, 38 with higher) to number 50 - highest effective tax rate in the Nation.
It passes, I'll leave Colorado. That's not an empty threat. My company has offices all across the Country. I've already been seriously considering leaving CO for other reasons. This would very easily be the straw that broke the camel's back.
I'm sure he's added it to his arsenal. He's got so many choices of issues, scandals, and abject failures of bammy, the 'rats, and Clinton it may be a while before he gets to it.
Actually, he could use it on a broad scale as just one example of the many failed policies of the liberals. Or if he has an opportunity to tie Clinton directly/tightly to bammy and obamacare he can do that, then point out what an expensive failure it is.
So many scandals and failures, so little time left in the campaign. He may not be able to work them all in! ;-)
But, everyone gets free choom!
I think if they were in favor of this it would be accepting that socialized medicine is the way to go. Rejecting it is the admission that Obamacare is a failure. Because this is nothing more than Obamacare version 2.0, but state run instead of nationally run.
Give it another decade at most and it will pass easily.
“Among all respondents, 27% would vote yes and approve the amendment, 65% would vote no and reject it”
Good. I REALLY don’t want to have to move to another state.
“We believe the amendment asks too much from Colorado voters by asking them to raise their state income tax by 10%”
Nope. Colorado income tax wouldn’t increase by 10%, it would increased by 215%! The current Colorado income tax rate is 4.63%; the NEW Colorado income tax rate would be 14.63% if this insanity passes.
