ObamaCare too costly for the rich Colorado residents, Dem congressman says
Oct 24th 2013, 00:48

Published October 23, 2013

One of President Obama's most ardent liberal supporters has defected from ObamaCare.

Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, told a Colorado health policy think tank that ObamaCare premiums will be too expensive for some of the wealthiest addresses in America – ski resorts like Breckenridge and Keystone. 

He says he's asking the feds to let them sit out the president's national health system.

"We will be encouraging a waiver," Polis told Health Policy Solutions in a story that ran today. "It will be difficult for Summit County residents to become insured. For the vast majority, it's too high a price to pay."

The resorts are in Summit County and Aspen is in a neighboring county, which Polis also represents. He has consistently voted in favor of ObamaCare.

Polis also wrote to Colorado's insurance commissioner asking why an average 40-year-old mountaintop resident would have to fork over $427.80 a month while counterparts in Denver would pay $296.41 for the same plan.
