Lauren Boebert and accused them of cutting health care for the poor to finance tax breaks for the rich. Evans, who represents Colorado's 8th Congressional District, and Boebert, who represents Colorado's 4th Congressional District, say they have what President Trump calls the One Big Beautiful Bill Act all wrong.

For Rep. Brittany Pettersen, the debate happening in D.C. over Medicaid isn't political, it's personal. If not for the government health care program, she says, her mom wouldn't be alive. Stacy Pettersen struggled with opioid addition for years, a struggle that became the catalyst for far-reaching legislation by her daughter, including a law that expanded Medicaid to cover in-patient treatment for substance use disorders. Pettersen says the law has saved lives and money.

Gov. Jared Polis is putting local governments on notice: Either they comply with state housing laws, or they risk losing at least $100 million a year in state funding. The governor signed an executive order that takes the battle over local control to a new level. Over the last two years, he's signed bills regarding residential occupancy limits and accessory dwelling units, transit-oriented communities and manufactured homes, and even limits on staircases and parking spots.

Approximately 100,000 Coloradans would lose their health care under a bill that cleared its first hurdle in Congress. That's according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, which says Medicaid spending would continue to grow under the bill, but it would grow by about $700 billion less over the next decade than it is projected to grow now. The House Committee on Energy and Commerce passed the bill, that's a key part of the Republican budget, after a tense 26 1/2 hour hearing.
