John,
Yesterday, Colorado Democrats joined concerned constituents and elected officials outside newly elected Congressman Gabe Evans’s Northglenn office to urge him to protect Medicaid.
One of those constituents was a hospice nurse, Rebecca Miller, who courageously shared her story.

Rebecca Miller works to provide comfort to the dying, the elderly, the sick, the poor, the unhoused, the forgotten, and the broken. In hospice, she helps people live fully with the time they have left, ensuring they have dignity and peace in their final moments.
Most hospices are covered by Medicare, but many children and younger adults rely on Medicaid to cover necessary expenses far beyond what most families can afford.
Medicaid provides critical healthcare to over 80 million Americans and 1.3 million Coloradans—seniors, people with disabilities, low-income families, and pregnant women. It keeps hospitals, nursing homes, and home health services running, ensuring care for entire communities. It reduces ER overcrowding and saves lives during public health crises like COVID-19.
Despite this, some see Medicaid as an unnecessary "expense." But the truth is, Medicaid is an investment in public health, economic stability, and human dignity.
Rebecca’s question for Gabe Evans is an important one – “ where are these patients supposed to go if you vote to defund Medicaid? Roll them out into the street? How about the kids at Children’s Hospital? Unplug their vent or stop their cancer treatments?”
Defunding Medicaid is not just a policy choice — it is a death sentence and an imposition of cruelty and suffering.
Every single Democrat in the House is committed to protecting Medicaid, and we only need a few Republicans to break ranks and oppose Trump. Will Gabe Evans do the right thing, or will he back his Party’s billionaire donors?
If Gabe Evans votes to defund healthcare, we know Colorado Democrats, alongside the thousands of Medicaid recipients in Colorado's 8th District, will hold him accountable in 2026. Sign on here to tell Gabe Evans you will, too. >> [[link removed]]
