The Big Beautiful Bill's cuts to Medicaid's budget will cause almost 12 million Americans to lose health insurance over the next 10 years — including tens of thousands in Evans’ district. The cuts mostly paid for tax cuts for wealthy people.

CO’s gov is a tech bro who made millions on an internet business & bought his way into politics after. He isn’t known for his integrity. But even given that low, low bar, today’s announcement that he has commuted Tina Peter’s sentence is astonishing & begs the question: what did he get in return?

Last year, @colorado.gov folded to the billionaire and said no to a bill that would allow workers to unionize fairly This year, workers are back to make CO a place where families can afford rent, groceries, healthcare, and retire with dignity. That’s what unions do. That’s the Worker Protection Act

Protect Coloradans’ health care
We are facing a reality where health coverage for 1 in 5 Coloradans is in jeopardy. Congressional discussions are underway to significantly defund Medicaid, which is a lifeline to many Coloradans. Making $880 billion in rushed cuts to healthcare programs covering seniors, children and other vulnerable groups would have dramatic consequences: • More people will be uninsured and won’t access healthcare until an emergency, leading to increased healthcare costs for everyone.
