Denver, CO -- Michael Bennet continued his push for health care reform during a visit on Monday to St. Joseph Hospital in Denver.
Bennet pointed to runaway costs as a problem underlying all aspects of our health care system.
"Having to plan around a double-digit increase every year is simply intolerable," said Bennet.
Bennet stressed that our current system must be changed to empower doctors, nurses and patients, rather than insurance companies.
