The Health Care Committee is a forum for discussion and action related to the business perspective about health care issues. The objective of the committee is to provide the business leadership necessary to bring about positive changes in Colorado’s current health care climate, paying particular attention to cost, quality and access issues for small employers.

The group emphasizes on the increasing rising cost of health insurance premiums for small employers, as well as overall costs, quality and access.
