NEW: “Gabe Evans’ ‘Big Beautiful’ Medicaid Cuts Land With Resounding Thud” [Colorado Pols]

Gutting health care “could well be the vote that makes Gabe Evans a one-term congressman”

Colorado Pols is highlighting how Gabe Evans is poised to help Republicans gut Medicaid, a program more than one million Coloradans depend on, to pay for trillions in tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. A member of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, Evans is crucial to Republicans’ plan to enact the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history.

Evans, “America’s most vulnerable freshman Republican,” has spent months lying to his constituents that he would not touch Medicaid, yet thousands of his constituents could lose health care and North Colorado Medical Center, located in Evans’ district, is projected to lose $2.3 million under Evans and House Republicans’ plan.

In case you missed it…

Colorado Pols: Gabe Evans’ ‘Big Beautiful’ Medicaid Cuts Land With Resounding Thud

• The House Energy and Commerce Committee featuring America’s most vulnerable freshman Republican Rep. Gabe Evans has released the long-awaited details of their component of President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” slashing the size and scope of basically every part of the government.

• Democrats warn that millions of Americans will lose coverage.

• “In no uncertain terms, millions of Americans will lose their health care coverage,” said Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey, the top Democrat on the panel. He said “hospitals will close, seniors will not be able to access the care they need, and premiums will rise for millions of people if this bill passes.”

• The additional “eligibility verification” and other new screenings will have the effect of throwing hundreds of thousands of otherwise eligible patients off the coverage rolls simply due to the difficulty [of] the new screenings.

• Here in Colorado, Gabe Evans is the face of this because-we-can shortchanging of the most needy to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

• The time has come for Evans to stop skipping votes and cast the vote his constituents have dreaded since the day he took office… This could well be the vote that makes Gabe Evans a one-term congressman.
