Gabe Evans Voted to Increase Prescription Drug Costs and Junk Fees

Yesterday, Gabe Evans rejected a bipartisan compromise on the Energy & Commerce Committee that would have cracked down on junk fees and lowered drug costs.

The amendment – which Evans voted to block – would lower the high cost of living for middle-class families by banning abusive pricing practices by pharma middlemen and crack down on junk fees by requiring upfront, all-in pricing on hotels, vacation rentals, and live-event tickets.

In just a few short months, Evans has proven to be just another partisan doormat for Elon Musk who refuses to do anything to lower costs.

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“Before he gets to work on enacting the largest cut to Medicaid in history, Gabe Evans is already voting to make medicine more expensive and greenlight higher junk fees on working families. Coloradans can’t afford Evans and his disastrous anti-Colorado policies.”
