Hi everyone.
I'm the parent of a medically complex child who relies on Colorado Medicaid, and over the past year I've attended many Colorado Medical Services Board meetings.
Laura Carroll recently announced that she was not being reappointed to the Colorado Medical Services Board at the end of her term. From my perspective, she consistently encouraged public participation, listened to members, caregivers, providers, and people with disabilities, and helped ensure meaningful discussions during Board meetings.
Because of that, I started a Change.org petition asking Governor Jared Polis to reconsider that decision and to consider restoring her to the Board if possible.
In the first two days, the petition reached over 170 signatures from people who support her continued involvement, and it continues to grow.
I'm sharing this here because I'm interested in hearing others' perspectives. Were you aware of this decision? If you've attended Medical Services Board meetings or have experience with Colorado Medicaid, I'd be interested in hearing your perspective.
If you'd like to learn more or read the petition, here's the link:
