Letters: It’s Lauren Boebert who’s being untrue

My opponent in the Colorado District 3 U.S. House race, Lauren Boebert, wrote a letter full of lies (“

She can’t repeal the ACA and protect Coloradans at the same time. And she has not spelled out her health care plans.

I have specific plans to improve health care on the Western Slope and in Southern Colorado. I don’t support eliminating private insurance. People who have good coverage now should be able to keep it. I will work on five other health care solutions: funding rural health care, ending surprise billing, lowering prescription drug costs by authorizing Medicare to negotiate prices, fully funding the Children’s Health Insurance Program and preserving the Medicaid expansion authorized by the ACA. Many in our district now rely on Medicaid; COVID-19 has increased the need.

I’m an independent leader with a bipartisan record and plans based on evidence to address our health care challenges. I’ll represent you in Congress.
