Fox 31: Public Option Fight Heating Up Ahead of General Assembly Session

It is starting to feel like 2009 again in Colorado with a health care fight over the public option brewing.

In listing some of his priorities ahead of the upcoming General Assembly session recently, Gov. Jared Polis listed a public option as one of them.

"A public option that reduces premiums," Polis said during a recent press conference.

However, hospitals and insurers are not pleased with the progression of the idea -- launching a six-figure ad blitz across Colorado television stations ahead of General Assembly session.
