Health Coverage Should Not Depend on a Lottery<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Imagine having your health coverage depend on whether or not your name gets picked from a lottery. For thousands of Coloradans depending on Omnisalud, that\u2019s the reality. Funding limits and rising costs have created a system where access to basic care is left up to chance and lawmakers are now deciding what comes next.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Health Insurance Affordability Enterprise, or HIAE, was created by the <\/span>Colorado State Legislature<\/b> in 2020, thanks to advocacy by COLOR together with other organizational partners and community leaders. It allows Colorado to collect a fee on health insurers and use that money, along with some additional funds, to make health insurance more affordable for people who are paying out of pocket for health coverage. That money helps reduce monthly<\/span> premiums<\/b>, keep insurance prices from spiking, and supports state programs that help community members, including immigrants, stay covered. These protections matter because when people lose coverage, they don\u2019t stop needing care – they just lose a way to pay for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

One of the programs funded through HIAE is Omnisalud. Omnisalud is an affordable healthcare program that was launched in 2022. It provides financial assistance and <\/span>subsidized <\/b>insurance options for Colorado community members who are not eligible for federal subsidies, including people who don\u2019t qualify for Medicaid or <\/span>premium tax credits<\/b> through the <\/span>Affordable Care Act (ACA) <\/b>because of their immigration status<\/span>. <\/b>Omnisalud covers both documented and undocumented community members.<\/span><\/p>

At the end of last year, the number of people who depend on Omnisalud to stay healthy was cut from 12,000 to 6,700. Community members had to enter a lottery system to determine if they were able to keep their coverage, and nearly half of them were not picked.<\/span> Right now, HIAE is facing funding limits at the same time that medical costs are increasing and tax credits that keep the cost of insurance premiums from rising are being threatened at the federal level. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When People Lose Coverage, They Don\u2019t Stop Needing Care<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The 2026 Legislative Session is so important because lawmakers are debating changes that could either stabilize or weaken how HIAE works going forward. Those decisions will directly affect who gets coverage and who doesn\u2019t, far beyond anyone with Omnisalud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This matters because access to health care affects everyone, even people who do have insurance coverage. Whether it is for preventative care, managing chronic conditions, or having peace of mind in an emergency, healthcare is crucial for helping us lead safe and healthy lives. When people go without coverage, they delay care, end up in crisis situations, and create higher costs for the whole system because they are unable to pay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Unpaid care doesn\u2019t just disappear; hospitals make up the difference by charging more expensive rates, which leads to more expensive premiums for families and employers. Programs funded through HIAE help prevent widespread coverage losses, reduce emergency room use, and keep costs from being pushed onto everyone else. Even if you already have insurance, these programs help keep your premiums lower and the healthcare system working.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This legislative session, your voice is not just welcome, it\u2019s necessary. Each of us has one Senator and one Representative whose job is to listen to\u00a0us\u00a0<\/i>as the experts who know what it\u2019s like to live in our communities. You can\u00a0look up who represents you here<\/a>\u00a0and keep following this blog for key opportunities to let them know why access to healthcare is important to you and your community\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

You can also sign up for\u00a0COLOR\u2019s Power Alert Network<\/a>\u00a0to receive short, action based texts from our policy team so you know exactly when lawmakers need to hear from you, whether it be testimony, storytelling, or community organizing. Also\u00a0sign up for our Virtual La Plaza COLOR<\/a>\u00a0meetings to connect with COLOR staff and learn about the bills we are supporting.\u00a0<\/p>

We know when our people are denied care or forced to work in unsafe conditions, it is not simply a policy failure; it is a barrier to dignity, to belonging, and to life.\u00a0This is the call we carry: Latines deserve care without barriers!<\/b><\/p>
