As Colorado’s representatives in Congress, we urge you to oppose Congressionally-proposed cuts to Medicaid funding that would throw hundreds of thousands of Coloradans off their health insurance and increase costs transferred due to uncompensated care for the rest. Children, hardworking individuals, people with disabilities, seniors, and safety net providers are not political pawns or talking points. These cuts would mean losing access to lifesaving care with devastating consequences. You can read the entire letter Lt. Governor Primavera and I wrote at ow.ly/9ySi50VzVav

A question i’ve gotten a lot in the last few hours: How was Chris Collins, a member of Congress, allowed to serve on a board of a publicly traded pharmaceutical company when serving. To add to that, Collins was on Energy and Commerce, which oversees the industry.
