ICYMI: Front Page of the Denver Post: Millions to Lose Plans
THORNTON, CO– On Saturday, the Denver Post included a front-page article about the dire state of health care in Colorado.
“Millions to Lose Plans” outlines how the Big Beautiful Bill not only cuts Affordable Care Act credits and Medicaid, it makes insurance costs go up for everyone. In case you missed it:
As the article outlines, "insurers close options viewed as unprofitable, cutting back choices.”
“Millions of people with private Medicare coverage are being forced to change their insurance for 2027 and will pay higher prices for prescriptions and medical care, prompting some experts to warn that more older Americans will face greater financial hardship.”
“Major insurers, like UnitedHealth, Centene and state Blue Cross plans, have shuttered plans that they viewed as unprofitable in certain markets, leaving some people with fewer choices of policies, and even more limited choices of doctors in 2027.”
Gabe Evans voted for the largest Medicaid cuts in American history that could shut down three rural hospitals in CD-8 and put 200,000 Coloradans at risk of losing their health care. Now millions of Americans who use private insurance are now at risk of losing the care they need to survive due to corporate greed fueled by Evans and Donald Trump.
“Gabe Evans’ continued support of Donald Trump’s reckless health care cuts not only put folks who rely on critical programs like Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act at risk of losing their insurance, but also people who opted to keep their current private plan,” said Alex Terr, spokesperson for Manny for Colorado. “Manny Rutinel will lower healthcare costs to ensure every Coloradan has affordable, accessible healthcare.”
