Why is Medicaid changing its name and look?

Good health and access to affordable health care is the very foundation of a productive, engaged life. Medicaid provides that foundation for over a million people in Colorado and through the new name and logo, we are proudly conveying the critical importance of the services we and our partners provide.  The new name will also reduce confusion with “Medicare” and may reduce the stigma associated with the name Medicaid and public assistance.
