Archuleta League of Women Voters, a non-partisan, non-profit, education and advocacy organization, is pleased to announce a presentation of “Affordable and Comprehensive Health Care for ALL Coloradans” tonight, Tuesday March 24, 5:30pm at Community United Methodist Church, 434 Lewis Street.
The program will cover a Colorado School of Public Health study related to a new Colorado law (SB25-045 May 2025) looking at a single non-profit, publicly financed, privately delivered comprehensive healthcare system. The study has been funded and will evaluate how comprehensive healthcare (medical, dental, vision, hearing, drugs, psychiatric care and long-term care) can be brought to Coloradans, with no deductibles, no co-pays and based on households’ ability to pay.
Speakers will include:
Eileen Monyok, Board of Colorado Healthcare Coalition: “What will the healthcare study entail and how will it help Coloradans?”
Robert Hagberg MD, Colorado Heathcare Coalition: “How would a Single Payer System change our current system?” and “Experience with New Zealand’s Single Payer Universal Healthcare System”

The League is known primarily for encouraging voter participation. This includes a commitment to providing fact-based information so voters can make informed decisions. New groups organizing to become a local League may register voters, conduct candidate forums, distribute state Voters Guides, and publish local guides to elected officials. They may also host public issues forums in order to present various viewpoints on topics (e.g., recycling or health care), or ballot issues impacting their communities.
Nonpartisanship means that the League of Women Voters does not support or oppose any political parties or candidates. Today, this policy continues to ensure that the League’s voice is heard above the tumult of party politics.
To ensure the credibility of the League as a nonpartisan organization, each League’s board of directors is responsible for drafting and carrying out its own nonpartisan policy and for seeing that both its members and the public understand the League’s nonpartisan role.
The League does take action on issues which it has studied and on which it has a position. The League is a multi-issue organization, with positions falling into the general areas of government, social policy, natural resources, and international relations.
