Both parties now want health exchange review

Democrats and Republicans in Colorado agree that the state health insurance exchange needs a deep review.

But of course, they expect different conclusions from a new state audit for Connect For Health Colorado.

A House committee voted 13-0 Tuesday to order a deeper analysis of the exchange than has been done in the past. Republicans pushed unsuccessfully for the audit last year.

Democrats now say they want to show that the exchange has glitches but is performing well overall. The bill has already passed the Senate.

On Monday, board members for the exchange voted to give themselves a new audit as well.

The Colorado exchange has avoided many problems that plagued other state exchanges but has still experienced cost overruns and consumer delays.
