WHAT: HB 13-1015, Disclosing Mental Health Claims to the All-Payer Database WHO: Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp (D-29), Sens. Irene Aguilar (D-32) and John Kefalas (D-14) WHY: Because politicians are all cheerleaders gunning for Prom Queen – they measure their self-worth by what they know about other people. No, seriously.
