On January 1, 2025, Cover All Coloradans expanded Medicaid and CHP+ to cover undocumented children and pregnant adults who previously did not have access to affordable health care coverage. Now, more than 13,000 Coloradans, including 10,500+ children, have health coverage for the first time.
However, proposals to cut Medicaid funding put this progress at risk, threatening Colorado children's health and the stability of hospitals and safety net clinics.
Health coverage saves kids' lives and improves long-term well-being for children.
Prevention reduces costs to families by avoiding expensive ER visits.
Providers need to be properly reimbursed for the care they provide to prevent further financial strain and closures.
Rural families rely on Medicaid, with over half of children covered in some areas.
Contact your legislators – Demand they protect Medicaid funding and ensure Cover All Coloradans remains fully funded with no cuts or caps to this program. Every outreach makes a difference!
