Print all In new window Take Action for LGBTQ Health: GOP Plan will hurt Coloradans!

By Daniel Ramos, Executive Director, One Colorado
 
On Tuesday night, House Republicans revealed the so-called “American Health Care Act.” This bill will cause thousands of Coloradans to lose coverage, reversing substantial progress we have made. This bill does not ensure access to comprehensive, affordable health care for the people of Colorado — especially for LGBTQ Coloradans. It will not reduce costs or improve choice or stabilize the insurance market.

Call your members of Congress and tell them: "Please do not take away health care from hundreds of thousands of Coloradans and vote against the American Health Care Act. We deserve a plan that offers more affordable care, better coverage, and better consumer protections."

Below is contact information for each senator and representative. If you need to know who your representative is/which district you live in, click here (Senators represent the entire state so call both of them!).

Senator Cory Gardner - 303-391-5777
Senator Michael Bennet - 303-455-7600 / 866-455-9866
Representative Diana DeGette - 303-844-4988 (CO District 1)
Representative Jared Polis - 303-484-9596 (CO District 2)
Representative Scott Tipton - 970-241-2499 (CO District 3)
Representative Ken Buck - 970-702-2136 (CO District 4)
Representative Doug Lamborn - 719-520-0055 (CO District 5)
Representative Mike Coffman - 720-748-7514 (CO District 6)
Representative Ed Perlmutter - 303-274-7944 (CO District 7)

So much is on the line! Without a comprehensive replacement plan, many LGBTQ Coloradans' health care will be in jeopardy. Call your U.S. Senators' and Representative's local office now!

Congress wants to push this bill through as quickly as possible, without considering the consequences. We need to make sure that our Representatives and Senators know that this bill will be bad for Colorado. Call Now!
