| Description | In 2012, the Bell continued to research and document the state's fiscal condition and challenges. We played a key role as one of ten conveners of a statewide roundtable committed to public education and building consensus around possible solutions. We continued to experiment with new ways to reach and educate wider and more diverse audiences, including aggressive use of social media and the production of a public television program about budget and fiscal issues.The Bell continued to participate in a variety of forums to help ensure effective implementation at the state level of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and continued its work to educate the public about how the Act will work. This included a large number of presentations around the state and continuation of a series of short articles explaining different aspects of the ACA. We continued to serve as fiscal sponsor for the Medical Clean Claims Task Force commissioned by the Governor until it transitioned 12/31/12.The Bell continued its research, education and advocacy work pertaining to educational opportunity, especially access to affordable post-secondary education and training opportunities for all Coloradans, including working adults. Activities included analysis, expert testimony and coalition work, with a special focus on adult training, need-based financial aid, and workforce preparedness. | Description |
