Colorado Access welcomes news of the court ruling against the stringent medical frailty definition. We also remain concerned too many people will still lose Medicaid coverage. We are committed to helping as many eligible members stay covered as possible. https://t.co/KAM6D6pkFL

One in eight Coloradans still can't afford the health care they need, and federal cuts are about to make Medicaid coverage even shakier. Amendment 87 helps backfill that lost funding and makes health care more affordable for families. #YesOn87

Starting today, some immigrants will lose access to Colorado’s Medicaid, Health First Colorado. Colorado Access remains disappointed with this federal rollback of coverage.

Last week, we submitted our comment letter in response to CMS’ new rule on Medicaid work requirements. We are deeply concerned that the rule will disrupt care, worsen health outcomes, increase uncompensated care, and add pressure to our health care system. #ProtectMedicaid

Today, more than 1.2 million Coloradans rely on #Medicaid for access to health care. As major changes to the program approach, protecting coverage and access to care has never been more important. Happy 61st Birthday, Medicaid! 🎉 #StayConnectedStayCovered

🏛️ Throughout an extremely challenging 2026 legislative session, we tracked 40+ bills to protect coverage, strengthen Medicaid, and support whole person care. We look forward to furthering this work with legislators and partners in the months ahead. #COleg #COpolitics

@GovofCO signed SB26‑032 into law to ensure a stable, evidence‑based, accessible immunization system for all Coloradans. We were proud to support this effort to safeguard access to essential preventive care. We thank the bill sponsors for their leadership.

Thank you, @RepDianaDeGette, @RepJasonCrow, and @Repgabeevans, for meeting us to hear our concerns about H.R. 1 implementation and the importance of mitigating unnecessary coverage loss. We are grateful for your time and for the chance to share what we’re seeing on the ground.

[Colorado Access @coaccess]

We wrapped up a busy week in D.C. with ACAP (@safetynetplans). We met with Colorado’s Congressional delegation to talk through H.R. 1 implementation. Lots of work ahead, but it’s good to be part of the conversation and advocate for the communities we serve.

We are proud to have supported the Family Affordability Tax Credit. New research shows the credit linked to a 20% reduction in child poverty on its own, & nearly 40% when combined w/ other CO tax credits. Learn more about the impact: https://t.co/zW8LwFFBhz

We’re proud to support SB26-032 to protect immunization access for all Coloradans. With today’s Senate passage, the bill now heads to the House. We believe access to high-quality preventive care, including vaccines, is essential for healthy, thriving Colorado communities.
