Following Thursday’s arrest of ten disability rights activists who were protesting the GOP health care bill at the office of U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), leading Colorado activist groups spoke out in condemnation of Gardner’s refusal to engage with constituents and his party’s plan to strip health insurance from millions of Americans.
Obamacare
If Gardner really wanted transparency, he could have started with his own constituents
On Wednesday, in a report from The Denver Post, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) said the GOP should have been more open about the bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Key question for Gardner is, how many Coloradans would lose insurance under GOP Obamacare replacement?
U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner continues to talk about making Medicaid “sustainable” and stable, but the key question Gardner needs to answer is, Will Colorado Medicaid recipients lose health insurance under the GOP’s Obamacare replacement? And if so, how many? And how long a “glide path” until they’re cut out?
Cory Gardner links protests at his office with the shooting in Alexandria
In an appearance on conservative radio Thursday, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner pointed to prop-filled protests at his office as examples of rhetoric that should be toned down in the wake of Wednesday’s shooting at a Republican congressional baseball practice.
Gardner promised Obamacare replacement wouldn’t be drafted “behind closed doors.” That’s what’s happening now, and he’s not objecting
During a conference call in February, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner assured worried constituents that they would have plenty of opportunities to weigh in on any legislation to replace Obamacare.

The Colorado Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice Coalition spoke out Wednesday after yet another leak from the White House exposed an attempt to strip women of contraceptive coverage.
Gardner maintains that Obamacare must be replaced, but offers no specifics on how to stop millions from losing insurance
In what appear to be his first public comments on the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate that 23 million Americans would lose health insurance under the House Republicans’ bill to replace Obamacare, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) expressed no alarm over the finding, maintaining instead that Obamacare must be replaced and that “shortcomings” in the House bill will be taken care of.
Coffman praises Trump at GOP meeting
In contrast to his appearance Wednesday at a town hall meeting in Aurora, where he was reportedly “pummeled” by constituents and tried to distance himself from Trump, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) praised the president and was “very well received” a few days before at a meeting of the North Suburban Republican Forum.
Gardner gives a non-answer for an answer
In an interview today with NPR’s Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) continued his pattern of refusing to take a stance on the GOP proposal to replace Obamacare.
The Coueys go to Washington, and it’s a microcosm of our times
I ran across this story about a “Rifle woman” going to Washington for a Donald Trump healthcare “listening session”. It seems strange to hold a listening session after the bill has already been committed to paper and the GOP has had more than seven years to “listen” and formulate a better healthcare plan than the Affordable Care Act.
