Last week, I held a listening session with Denverites who rely on Medicaid, and one thing is absolutely clear: it saves lives. (2/2)
Here are their stories.👇
House Republicans passed a budget resolution that tasks my committee with slashing $880 billion from our jurisdiction. This means gutting Medicaid.
I won’t support this cruel proposal. (1/2)
The SAVE Act is Trump’s blatant voter suppression bill.
It would bar military personnel, voters of color, & over 70 million married women, including +1 million in CO, from their constitutional right to vote.
I’ll vote NO every time until this undemocratic, illegal bill is off the table for good.
In Denver, over 161K of my constituents could lose their Medicaid benefits & over 123K could lose much-needed food assistance.
This rushed, sloppy move is to fulfill Trump's “one, big, beautiful bill” demand—backed by Musk, not the American people.
I won’t support it & neither should Congress.
House Republicans just passed a budget that sets the stage for devastating cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—all so they can fund huge tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans & corporations.
Their plan demands $880 billion in “savings” from my committee, but the math only works by gutting health care.
Not only have we heard nothing from RFK Jr., but he still refuses to meet with us.
His failure to respond is a dereliction of duty.
It’s past time the Secretary answers to Congress.
I went to HHS this morning, alongside my Health Subcommittee colleagues, to demand a meeting with Secretary Kennedy face-to-face.
It’s been nearly 2 months since we requested a meeting to discuss the devastating impacts of his agency-wide cuts and the withholding of critical health funding.

Measles is a highly contagious disease, & Colorado just confirmed its second case. Yet Secretary Kennedy continues to downplay the threat and dodge meetings with me and my colleagues on the Health Subcommittee.
Coloradoans' lives are at risk, & our top health leaders are failing to meet the moment.
We had bipartisan agreement at the end of the year that would have addressed disparities in maternal care, increased funding for diabetes programs, and improved health care for millions of Americans.
Then Elon Musk killed it. Why won’t Republicans let us pass it now?
When he accepted the Republican nomination for president, Donald Trump said “we’re going to get the cure for cancer.”
Now, because of him, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr., groundbreaking cures are being pushed farther away. That’s not making America healthy again.
I have supported legislation to expand access to obesity drugs in Medicare. It’s a shame that Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are blocking our efforts.
President Biden helped Americans with Medicare get access to breakthrough drugs to fight obesity. Trump is taking away that hope.
This is not just an affordability issue – it will rob millions of Americans of a healthier life.
Special thanks to South High School for hosting us (Go Ravens!), Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser for joining the conversation, and the JROTC and Girl Scouts for helping make the event a success!
Catch the full Town Hall here. ⬇️
Thank you to everyone who joined our town hall—hearing directly from Denverites about what matters most to you and addressing your concerns remains my top priority.
I’m hosting a town hall in Denver! Watch live. ⬇️
So far, we’ve had success blocking Trump’s illegal cuts in court, but lawmakers play a role too.
Congress—not Donald Trump—holds the power of the purse.
I signed onto an amicus brief this week to stop Trump’s unconstitutional assault on USAID.
For nearly 40 years, USAID has uplifted our international allies, countered adversaries, and prevented crises.
Trump can’t singlehandedly eliminate this agency just because Elon wants him to.
