Legislation that would have repealed the health insurance exchange in Colorado has died in the Colorado House Health, Insurance and Environment Committee, according to The Denver Post.
Under the bill, Colorado's health insurance marketplace would have been repealed and the state would have begun using the federal marketplace Jan. 1, 2016.
Charles Ward, vice president of public affairs for the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce said eliminating the Colorado exchange "would be costly and disruptive to the insurance industry and create uncertainty for other business," according to the report.
