Commonwealth Fund's State Scorecard, CO ranked 8th

The 2015 edition of the Commonwealth Fund’s Scorecard on State Health System Performance measures changes in performance during 2013 and 2014 to assess the effects of the ACA’s 2014 health insurance expansions, as well as early effects of health care delivery and payment reforms like accountable care organizations and financial incentives to reduce hospital readmissions. The effects of the ACA are not yet fully reflected in the 2015 Scorecard results. It may take many years to see the resulting changes. Colorado ranked 8th overall.
