Show Notes
In his last State of the State speech, Gov. Jared Polis focused on the cost of health care, the impacts of the Trump administration -- and renewed his pitch to officiate Taylor Swift's wedding. Then, dire warnings about how many people would lose their health insurance this year in Colorado's marketplace haven't come to pass, but covering higher premiums is putting some families in a bind. Plus, we hear from two iconic Broncos superfans ahead of Saturday's playoff game at Mile High.
