There are over 300,000 Coloradans with pre-existing conditions whose ability to buy insurance without the ACA would be endangered. Yet Sen. Cory Gardner has voted to repeal or defund the law without any replacement, and he supports President Trump’s lawsuit to invalidate the ACA in the middle of a pandemic.
Instead, Gardner is trying to obscure his record in ads claiming to support pre-existing condition protections.
John Hickenlooper believes health care is a right, not a privilege. As governor, he expanded Medicaid to an additional 400,000 Coloradans and cut the uninsured rate by almost two-thirds. Unlike Gardner, he has a plan for a healthier future for all Americans.
