The Denver Post: Amendment 63 looks to capitalize on
health care controversy
Backers of Amendment 63, which would
change Colorado's constitution to make health care choice a right,
hope voters in an anti-big-government mood will see the initiative
that way and vote "yes." Opponents are counting on amendment-weary
voters' taking a closer look and rejecting an amendment that they
view as so murky in its wording that it would set off a flurry of
lawsuits and would ultimately increase costs for all
Coloradans.
