U.S. Senator for Colorado
Colorado continues to cement itself as a national hub for innovation, now with the world’s largest hyperloop testing track in Pueblo.

I was excited to celebrate this unveiling with Pueblo leaders and see firsthand the work Swisspod is doing to advance Colorado’s transportation technology.

Coloradans are facing up to 400% or more in increased monthly premiums if we don’t act now and extend ACA tax credits.

This will extend a critical lifeline to families, but it won’t be enough.

We must fix our broken health care system and ensure every family has access to affordable care.

Frankie, a father in CO Springs, who relies on an ACA insurance plan to cover his family, is facing a $2197 increase to his monthly premiums.

After his wife lost her job earlier this year, Frankie & his family are now grappling with the possibility of losing their coverage entirely next year.

It was a pleasure to meet with our Denver fall interns to thank them for their hard work and hear their plans for the future.

Our office wouldn’t be the same without them, and I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication throughout the government shutdown.

Colorado families are already struggling to get by as the costs of childcare, rent, and groceries continue to skyrocket.

The least we could do is make things a little bit easier and extend the ACA tax credits that make their health insurance more affordable.

Nearly 300,000 Coloradans face the real possibility of their monthly health care premiums doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling next year without the ACA tax credits Republicans have refused to extend.

Health care is a right.

And until we have universal coverage in this country, we shouldn’t make it harder for working families to afford coverage & stay healthy by allowing critical ACA tax credits to expire.

These credits are a lifeline for countless Coloradans. We must fight to preserve them.

When we passed the Affordable Care Act, we made historic progress in making health care attainable for working people.

After years of Republicans trying to take that health care away, we cannot give up our fight now, as millions are at risk of losing their premium tax credits and their coverage.

If you have seen your 2026 health care premiums skyrocket, please share your story.

Republicans have refused to extend critical premium tax credits for working families, and now thousands of Coloradans are at risk of losing coverage.

Your story will allow me to shine a light on this crisis.

This week, when Mark and his wife checked their health care premiums for next year, they had quadrupled.

With a history of serious medical issues, Mark’s family cannot go without health insurance & must now figure out how they can afford to pay over $17,000 more for their coverage next year.

I’ve heard from Coloradans across our state who don’t know how they’re going to feed their families this week as President Trump plays politics with their SNAP benefits.

Trump must stop using hunger as a political weapon, follow the law, and fully fund SNAP immediately.

Dave, a father of five in Littleton, is facing a $1,500/month increase to his family’s health insurance plan.

He shared that their budget cannot handle this dramatic increase in coverage costs without radical changes to their family’s daily life.

After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, Cyndi relied on her Connect for Health plan for the life-saving treatments and therapies she needed.

Now she's in remission & facing the impossible choice of skipping her annual appointments or paying $1200 more/ month for coverage she can't afford.

Bob's story is the reality for countless Coloradans.

Working families in our state simply cannot afford to pay thousands more every month for health insurance.

I will keep fighting to ensure more Coloradans don’t lose their coverage as a result of this crisis.

The Trump Administration spent $20 billion in taxpayer dollars to prop up Argentina and paved the way for their beef producers to profit at the expense of our own.

I will continue to demand answers from Trump’s appointees for this ridiculous policy and betrayal of Colorado’s ranchers.

Next year, a couple in El Paso County could be forced to pay $950 a month for health insurance.

This is the real cost of Republicans' refusal to negotiate to extend premium health care tax credits for working families.

Coloradans cannot afford it.

If Republicans don’t work with Democrats to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing:

A couple in Jackson County would pay over $1400 a month for health insurance.

There are real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it.
October 24, 2025 at 6:46 PM
Up to 100,000 Coloradans could lose their health coverage if ACA premium tax credits aren’t extended.

This is an issue of life and death. Republicans must come to the table now to prevent the loss of this lifeline before it’s too late.

This weekend, I saw the devastation from the recent flooding in Pagosa Springs firsthand.

Thank you to the local leaders working around the clock to keep Southwest Colorado communities safe and push recovery forward.

I’m ready to offer federal assistance in any way I can.

A couple in Garfield County would pay over $1200 a month for health insurance if Republicans allow their premium health care tax credits to expire.
