I’m suing the Trump administration for its latest, reckless assault on the Affordable Care Act.

The administration’s new rule is cruel, illegal, and devastating. Even the administration's own analysis admits it will cause up to 1.8 million people to lose their health insurance, raise premiums, copays, and deductibles for millions more.

I have heard from many Coloradans already dealing with high costs of living and terrified about cuts to health care. If this illegal action by the Trump administration is allowed to stand, it means many people will face the prospect of paying more for doctor visits and medicine, or even lose their coverage entirely.

In Colorado alone, more than 305,000 people now rely on the ACA exchange for their coverage — a record high. And nearly 80% of them need financial help to afford it. These are families, seniors, small business owners, gig workers — neighbors in every corner of the state.

If this rule goes into effect on August 25, we will see a wave of coverage losses and cost spikes. That’s why I’m taking action now — and suing the Trump administration to stop their attacks on Coloradans’ health care.

As your Attorney General, I’ve fought Trump in court before to protect access to health care — and I’ve won. I’ve also protected reproductive freedom, safeguarded voting rights, and stood up for education funding.

I won’t back down from this fight — or any fight where Coloradans’ rights are on the line. Even if it means taking on the President of the United States.

Thanks,

Phil
