  • We Welcome Your Support in Our Nonpartisan War on Waste. It's Your
    PAID ADVERTISEMENT President Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, In our previous two communications in The Wall Street Journal, we called attention to the lurking threat our country faces from an exploding national debt fueled by runaway government spending. We urged you to lead a national campaign to restore fi scal soundness to our great country by waging a nonpartisan War on Waste. From a recent U.S. Government Accountability Offi ce report*: “Since 2003…cumulative improper payment estimates have totaled about $1.4 trillion.” $1,400,000,000,000. Examples of improper payments are payments to doctors with suspended or revoked medical licenses or to people identifi ed as deceased in federal death fi les. A War on Waste is long overdue. We respectfully recommend that you announce to the nation that you are beginning a four-step War on Waste, that stamping out profl igate government spending is a top priority of your administration. Step 1 – Start a Transparency Revolution Publicize every White House expenditure. Direct every department and agency in your administration to follow suit. Classifi ed expenditures would be excluded. Transparency will be a culture-changing force. It will revolutionize government. It will infl uence how people vote. Knowing there is nowhere to hide will motivate politicians to earn votes with fi scal prudence rather than wasting taxpayer dollars by buying votes. We are living in the Information Age and the Big Data world. There is no reason why every government expenditure should not be public, accessible to the voting public via cell phone, computer, and iPad.

  • Summary of the Colorado Health Benefits Exchange
    www.getcoveredco.org Summary of the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange November 2012 The Colorado Health Benefit Exchange is a new health insurance marketplace, scheduled to open for business in October 2013, where individuals, families and small employers can shop for and buy health insurance based on quality and price. Customers will shop primarily through a website and will have access to assistance by phone and in person through a network of customer support professionals. The Exchange will also provide access to financial assistance to eligible Coloradans to reduce the cost of premiums. The marketplace will have a new name prior to opening. Established by Senate Bill 11-200, the Exchange is a public, non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors with additional direction from a panel of state legislators called the Legislative Implementation Review Committee. The mission of the Exchange is to increase access, affordability, and choice for individuals and small employers purchasing health insurance in Colorado. Customers are expected to begin purchasing health plans through the Exchange in October 2013, with plans taking effect on Jan. 1 2014. BACKGROUND The concept of a health insurance exchange is not new. Utah and Massachusetts operate different types of public exchanges. In 2008, the Colorado Blue Ribbon Commission for Health Care Reform recommended that the state create a way to help individuals and small businesses access health insurance as part of a larger effort to improve the health care system. Federal law enacted in 2010 calls for states to establish health insurance exchanges. Colorado leaders engaged in a broad discussion with stakeholder groups in 2010 to seek input about whether the state should move forward with an exchange and, if so, how it should be structured.
