Gardner Rages At Sebelius Over “Brosurance” [View all]

UPDATE: A release from pro-health reform group Protect Your Care asks why Rep. Cory Gardner is beating this anti-Obamacare drum at all, given the good being done in his district by the Affordable Care Act right now:


“This just doesn’t make any sense,” said Trish Smith a Colorado native and retiree who has lived in Greeley for over thirty years. “This is a rural district with a lot of people who need access to health care. The Affordable Care Act helps residents of CD4 get the health care they need. Instead of trying to undermine it, he should be trying to help people understand it. And he should be urging other states to follow Colorado’s lead.”

In Congressman Gardner’s district, 81,000 seniors are now eligible for Medicare preventive services without paying any co-pays, coinsurance, or deductible. About 206,000 individuals in the district – including 53,000 children and 79,000 women – now have health insurance that covers preventive services without any co-pays, coinsurance, or deductible. Additionally, 100,000 individuals in CO-4 who lack health insurance will have access to quality, affordable coverage without fear of discrimination or higher rates because of a preexisting health condition.
