Public vs. Private Health Insurance

A new publication from the Colorado Dept. of Public Health & Environment’s Health Statistics Section, Public Versus Private Health Insurance in Colorado at a Glance, offers consumers a look at the various aspects of both types of health insurance. Specifically, the publication gives the results of a study to “1)identify the proportion of the population reporting varying types of public versus private health insurance and 2) Examine selected risk factors and health outcomes for people who are uninsured, on public health insurance, or private health insurance.” You can also find a great deal of information on this topic by visiting the Colorado Division of Insurance.
