Why we checked itA specific coverage rate the speaker credits to his time in office; checkable against state survey data.
What we foundColorado's insured rate has never been measured at 96%. In the Colorado Health Access Survey it rose from about 84% in 2011, when Hickenlooper took office, to 93.5% in 2017 and 2019, his last years as governor; its highest figure is about 95.4%, in 2023, and it was about 94% in 2025. The rise is real, but the figure is high.
