Colorado House gives initial OK to new hospital fee

Associated Press
Denver, CO Colorado

DENVER, Colorado ” The House has tentatively approved a bill that would allow hospitals to charge provider fees.

Supporters say the measure approved Tuesday would keep health care costs down and reduce the number of people seeking care in emergency rooms.

Opponents say no one knows how much the fees would cost or who would pay the estimated $600 million a year.



The bill faces a third reading before it goes to the Senate.
