On Nov. 9, 2015, the Colorado Secretary of State announced that the proponents of a ballot measure to create a single-payer state health care system had submitted a sufficient number of signatures for the measure to appear on the 2016 statewide ballot. The proponents needed a total of 98,492 valid signatures. Based on a random sample of 5 percent of the signatures submitted, the Secretary of State projected there to be 109,134 valid signatures. Barring a successful protest of the Secretary of State’s determination, Initiative #20 for the so-called ColoradoCare program will be renumbered and renamed as Amendment 69.
