WASHINGTON — Plans by Republicans to dismantle the Affordable Care Act in the first month of Donald Trump’s presidency have sent tremors across Colorado, with activists and accountants both preparing for a seismic shift in policy. Analysts expect that a repeal would have an outsized impact on Colorado, as the state embraced the full spectrum of President Barack Obama’s signature piece of legislation, better known as Obamacare.

But the program also was a precursor to new problems, notably the collapse of a nonprofit insurer called Colorado HealthOP — which forced more than 80,000 residents to look for new insurance and wasted an estimated $72 million in federal loans. Critics have blamed the Affordable Care Act for increasing insurance rates for thousands of Coloradans, especially those living in rural parts of the state.
