The Colorado Secretary of State’s website reports that Colorado Deserves Better, the group opposing Amendment 63 received 90 percent of its $156,000 in funds from groups with addresses in Washington, DC. They include the National Education Association, the Service Employees International Union, the AFL-CIO, and the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center.

The three Colorado groups in favor of forcing people to buy health insurance are the Colorado Hospital Association, the Colorado Medical Society (which may not have actually surveyed its membership on the subject), and the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative which, as an enthusiastic supporter of programs like ObamaCare [HR 3590], is anything but.
