Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 22(source)

Today we introduced the EACH Act to end the Hyde Amendment that denies families across the country coverage for abortion care. Grateful for the partnership of @degette.house.gov, @schakowsky.house.gov, @frost.house.gov, @duckworth.senate.gov, @murray.senate.gov @hirono.senate.gov & Rep. Barbara Lee.

The verdict is in: the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed the Big Bad Bill will add $3.4 trillion to the deficit and leave 10 million Americans uninsured— all to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. Trump calls his law 'beautiful'. I call it a disaster.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 20(source)

Great meeting with Mari, a student from Denver living with type 1 diabetes and serving as our district’s Children’s Congress delegate. Her advocacy inspires my work as co-chair of the Diabetes Caucus—for affordable insulin, research, and a cure.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 18(source)

The U.S. has been at the forefront of developing life-saving drugs. But under the Trump Admin, our leadership is slipping. Slashing NIH & FDA funding means fewer new cures, longer wait times, & more lives at risk. I am fighting every day to stop Trump’s attacks on science before it's too late.

Trump Administration’s N.I.H. and F.D.A. Cuts Could Curtail New Drug Development, Budget Office Says

The Trump administration’s proposed cuts to medical research and health agencies will curtail the development of promising medications, the Congressional Budget Office said on Friday.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 18(source)

Health care costs will spike next year because of the Big Bad Bill. While Democrats fought to extend coverage and lower costs, Republicans chose to walk away, letting millions get kicked off their insurance & costs to skyrocket. Once again, Americans will suffer because of this horrific bill.

ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows

A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 18(source)

Congressional Republicans continue to cave to Donald Trump—and this time, it will cost lives. The cuts to USAID will eliminate lifesaving programs, while cuts to public broadcasting will threaten emergency alert systems. I voted NO against this catastrophic bill.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 17(source)

In June, @aoc.bsky.social, @chuygarcia.house.gov, and I sent a letter demanding answers from HHS after reports that Medicaid enrollee data was being shared with DHS. We won’t stand by while the Trump Administration weaponizes public health data to target immigrant communities.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 17(source)

The Trump Admin is hellbent on invading Americans’ privacy to hit a dystopian deportation quota. The agreement between ICE & CMS to turn over access to the personal data of 79 million Medicaid enrollees is a gross breach of trust and must be stopped immediately.

Trump administration hands over Medicaid recipients' personal data, including addresses, to ICE

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials will gain access to personally identifiable information for all of the nation’s 79 million Medicaid enrollees.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 17(source)

It's been less than two weeks since the Big Bad Bill was made law & Colorado insurers already proposed 28% rate hikes on average. That's 300,000 Coloradans whose rates will go up because of Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans. Safe to say this bill is a complete disaster.

Colorado health insurers propose huge price increases following passage of GOP's federal spending bill

Colorado health insurance prices in the individual market are poised for a big increase following passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 16(source)

No one likes the Big Bad Bill, even the Republicans who voted for it. Republican Senator Josh Hawley just introduced a bill to reverse many of the cuts to Medicaid that he voted for only two weeks ago. I'm fighting to stop the Big Bad Bill from kicking 17 million Americans off their health care.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 15(source)

After Trump signed the Big Bad Bill into law, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains had to turn away hundreds of patients & cancel appointments for care like cancer screenings, maternal health, and family planning. This cruel & callous policy is already taking health care away from Coloradoans.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 15(source)

Their decision to lay off thousands of HHS staff will devastate our public health, gut biomedical research, halt progress on lifesaving cures, and put the health of millions at risk. SCOTUS allowing these layoffs sets a dangerous precedent. We deserve better than this unserious administration.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 15(source)

RFK Jr. provided zero justification for laying off over 10,000 HHS personnel when he appeared before the Health Subcommittee. Now, he and Trump are gutting our health defenses with no plan, no justification, & no concern for the consequences.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 14(source)

The Supreme Court just greenlit Trump’s plan to shutter the Department of Education, without a single vote from Congress. This is not only unconstitutional—it’s unconscionable. This move will deepen educational inequities for vulnerable students who already face the steepest hurdles.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court is allowing President Trump to put his plan to dismantle the Education Department back on track and lay off nearly 1,400 employees.

It's been less than a week, and we're already seeing the devastating impacts of Trump’s Big Bogus Bill right now. Thousands of Coloradans lost access to health care and food assistance the day he signed it. This isn’t hypothetical. It’s happening. And it will continue to hurt families in CO.

One Big Beautiful Bill law blocks Colorado patients on Medicaid to go to Planned Parenthood for care as others face future without SNAP

The impact of the massive Republican budget act is showing up in organizations across Colorado

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 10(source)

As Co-Chair of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I know what’s at stake. In many communities, Planned Parenthood is the only expert, affordable provider of sexual and reproductive health care. This isn’t about partisanship. Every person deserves access to the care they need.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 10(source)

Finally, I joined leaders and advocates at Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains. The Big Bogus Bill would deny essential care—including birth control, cancer screenings, and more—to 1 million Planned Parenthood patients who rely on Medicaid nationwide.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 10(source)

Next, I stopped by the Inner City Health Center to underscore how the Big Bad Bill will leave ~17 million people uninsured & cause hundreds of hospitals to close. In Denver alone, +162,000 kids, seniors, & families rely on Medicaid. The GOP’s willingness to rip away this lifeline is shameful.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 10(source)

Nearly 91,000 Denverites—more than 1 in 8 households—rely on SNAP, but the GOP's bill slashes funding and puts food assistance at risk. Families shouldn’t go hungry to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govJul 10(source)

Today, I'm traveling around Denver to highlight the impacts of Trump's Big Bad Bill, starting with Metro Caring in Denver—where demand is rising and support is under threat.
