Dale,

Tom Tancredo is a private citizen and never did change his insurance when in Congress. He has been a member of Kaiser for a few decades.

I was his health care legislative aid and have been involved in medicine for more than 30 years now.

There is no "Private HC option" offered anywhere, particularly in Washington DC and Cover Colorado is the State version of single payer health insurance run by Colorado's legislature and subsidized by taxpayers.

If you want more of the same kind of "service" you have received from Cover Colorado, please feel free to continue to look to Washington DC for a solution.

If, on the other hand, you look into catastrophic insurance policies, rather than the pre-paid medical plans you apparently currently use, you will find significant savings.

Your condition is listed on the Mayo Clnic web site as one that has no cure but can be treated and controlled to some extent. If your cost for care is only $275, it sounds like it is not debilitating at this point.

Perhaps finding a new insurance company should be a priority before Washington makes a bigger mess of health care than they already have.

Best of luck Dale,
Dan
