Colorado Health for All Townhall- With or Without Sen. Gardner

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/colorado-health-for-all-townhall-tickets-32255137986

Town hall to discuss the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid Expansion and healthcare for Coloradans. Calling on Senator Gardner to hear from his constituents, the people who elected him and who demand that he represent our needs, not the political desires of President Trump or Representative Paul Ryan.

We have worked hard here in Colorado with the ACA implementation and Medicaid Expansion and are healthier because of it. We created a state health exchange for people to select and purchase health coverage and expanded the number of Coloradans who receive health insurance through Medicaid. While the Colorado program was not without problems and certainly can be improved, we ask that any federal ACA reform maintain protections for those who have serious health concerns or are unable to otherwise afford healthcare throughout the reform/repair process.

We are a group of Women Living with HIV, allies and community. We know how difficult life was before the ACA implementation and Medicaid expansion in Colorado. People were denied health insurance due to previous existing conditions or were unable to afford insurance policies. They did without medical coverage and they died because of it. We know that for people with ongoing health challenges including diabetes, cancer, asthma and HIV, even a month without health insurance can be a death sentence.

We demand better than this hasty policy shift- Colorado needs you to be better.

Come, share your stories and the impact repeal of the ACA will have on your life or those you love

We must demand his leadership when he returns to Washington D.C. after the recess.

If you are not able to attend in person, please consider making a short video for us to share with Senator Garnder and his staff.

We have seats for 75 people, FIRST COME FIRST ADMITTED DOORS OPEN AT 5:00.

Overflow space outside where you can listen to the discussion and participate


Come prepared to take action and meet others who are working to resist Trump's agenda. You can engage in your free time, and there are ways for everybody to participate. We’ll be encouraging our Members of Congress in Senate and House to represent us, not Trump. If we stand together, indivisible, we will win. Welcome to the resistance!
