On January 31, 2025, CCLP sent a letter to our federal delegate, Senator John Hickenlooper, regarding the current threats to Medicaid and the impacts of those changes on Colorado specifically, citing the following as reasons for concern:
- TABOR makes Colorado uniquely vulnerable.
- Medicaid “unwind” exposed critical system failures.
- Work requirements would be counterproductive.
- Funding changes would cripple Medicaid’s effectiveness.
- Proposed changes would harm Colorado’s economy.
The Letter addendum includes additional data to the letter to Senator Hickenlooper.
