Colorado Democrats Reject Exchange Bonus Limit

DENVER (AP) — Colorado Democrats have defeated a move to limit bonuses to people working at the health insurance exchange.

A House committee rejected a bill Thursday to require lawmakers to approve before the exchange awards employee bonuses.

The bill earlier cleared the GOP Senate.

Republicans say lawmakers need more control over the operations of Colorado's quasi-public agency, called Connect For Health Colorado.
