The governor’s race will hold high stakes for Coloradans. Candidate Jared Polis wants to make Colorado a Sanctuary State like California. But, folks, the latest reports about San Francisco describe the deplorable conditions that city is now facing. Residents report they are afraid of assaults and refuse to walk to work or to shop in the city with the high homeless population, some of whom are defecating in the streets! Conventions are taking a pass on scheduling, due to the same problems they see.
Is that the future for Colorado, too? Polis also wants to institute Medicare healthcare for all of Colorado. I am on Medicare and am sickened with the myriad rule changes and low compensation paid to our doctors and hospitals. The rules were changed in October 2016, just prior to Obama leaving office! Many, many doctors have left and many are retiring due to Medicare. Many won’t take Medicare patients. What good is insurance if there is no one to treat patients? That is the plight for those on Medicaid now!
Ours is not a socialist country, but Democrats proclaim it is the future under Democrat leadership. Is that what we want for Colorado?
