Then, if you get health insurance through Connect for Health Colorado, you need to know what Congress may do to it. Plus, an update on the possibility of a strike at Safeway stores.

This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Bazi Kanani. It’s edited and produced by Jo Erickson, Mateo Schimpf, and Stephanie Wolf. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
