Consumer Advocates Blast Congress and Health Plans for Choosing to Abandon Coloradans
In response to the announcement that Rocky Mountain Health Plans will no longer offer individual market plans in the Denver area and Anthem is withdrawing its plans from various counties. “Their decision to cut health care … is wreaking havoc on our individual market.”
Congress Passes “Big Ugly Bill,” Betraying Americans With Largest Cuts to Healthcare and Medicaid in History
On the eve of the 4th of July, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the rushed “big ugly” reconciliation budget bill that will slash over $930 billion from Medicaid and make painful cuts to the Affordable Care Act, terminating coverage for hundreds of thousands of Coloradans, all to help subsidize tax breaks for the wealthiest and big corporations.
Senate Passes “Big Ugly Bill,” Betraying the American People Relying on Medicaid & ACA
Despite the no votes of Colorado’s two Senators, the U.S. Senate passed the rushed “big ugly” reconciliation budget bill that will slash over $930 billion from Medicaid and make painful cuts to the Affordable Care Act, harming hundreds of thousands of Coloradans to help subsidize tax breaks for the wealthiest and big corporations. Seventy percent of the bill’s tax benefits will go to the top 5% while costs will go up for the bottom 40% of Americans, and the Congressional Budget Office projects it will add nearly 4 trillion to the deficit.
