(We’d guess that Gardner is in no hurry to cast a vote on Trumpcare — promoted by Colorado Pols) Republicans sabotaged Obamacare, in part, by stripping the law of funds to incentivize insurance companies to cover enrollees who were expensive to insure. One of the lead saboteurs was U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO). Back in […]
A Newsy syndicated story via Denver7, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell mashes the pause button on the repeal of the Affordable Care Act while Sen. John McCain of Arizona recovers from surprise surgery Friday: Senate Republicans were forced to postpone a vote on their party’s health care bill after Sen. John McCain announced he would […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-CO) office says it erred in telling Steamboat Springs Republicans that a planned lunch meeting last Friday with Gardner was canceled due the expected presence of protesters, when, in fact, the actual reason for the cancellation, according to Gardner’s office, was to “accommodate” a meeting with Democratic […]
CBS4’s Shaun Boyd aired an interview with Sen. Cory Gardner last night, in which close observers of the debate over the repeal of the Affordable Care Act will detect an important new set of talking points from Gardner that marks a major shift in his public position. A shift away from protecting patients covered by […]
(Yeah, sure. — Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s gotten to the point where we no longer need to examine or critique U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-CO) words at all. They speak for themselves. This is Gardner’s latest constituent newsletter, provided for you verbatim in its entirety, as delivered in an email Tuesday with the subject […]
(Now that he’s back in Washington D.C., Gardner can use the “airplane delay” excuse again — Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-CO) spokesman, Casey Contres, told Steamboat Today on Friday that Gardner had to cancel a planned lunch with local GOP officials “in order to accommodate a necessary healthcare meeting.” But Republicans […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Here’s my list of key questions for Gardner. Please add yours in the comment section. What’s the highest number of people in Colorado who’d be projected to lose health insurance under the senate bill—and you’d still vote for it? You’re not yet accepting the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) estimate that […]
A good update this weekend from the Denver Post’s Mark Matthews as the U.S. Senate gets back to work on repealing the Affordable Care Act–which seems less likely to succeed now than ever after a July 4th recess packed with bad news and public protest. But don’t tell that to Republicans following Sen. Cory Gardner, […]
Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardner has been going out of his way to avoid talking about the Senate healthcare bill, even though he was part of the original “Group of 13” Senators charged with drafting the legislation. Gardner doesn’t meet with constituents and won’t provide substantive answers to the media about his position on the […]
Welcome back to the “Editorial Department” at Colorado Pols, where we discuss certain opinion pieces, blog entries, and other assorted commentary. Today, we take a look at an auto-response letter generated from the office of Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). In the event that Sen. Gardner actually proofread something that was generated from his office, this is what […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Citing the case of an English child with a degenerative brain disease, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) remains committed to repealing and replacing Obamacare, and he’s “been told” the U.S. Senate has made progress toward writing viable legislation. “And the alternative is a single-payer healthcare system, and look what happened in […]
Alvina Vasquez writing at the Huffington Post on a new Public Policy Polling survey of Colorado voters, with numbers that should make even the most indestructibly overconfident Cory Gardner smile fade to nervousness: Public Policy Polling conducted 3 polls on the Senate’s health care repeal in states of 3 Senators up for re-election in 2020 […]
The Fourth of July weekend is always a popular time to find politicians outside shaking hands, kissing babies, and taking selfies with constituents. Congress is in the middle of its 10-day July 4th recess, and across the country elected officials (most of them, anyway) were marching in parades and pressing the flesh at community gatherings. […]
(Gardner confirmed to appear somewhere in North America! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Centennial Institute’s “Western Conservative Summit” bills itself as the “largest gathering of conservatives outside of Washington, D.C.,” drawing thousands from across the country. Trump even spoke there last year. But this year, one of the biggest draws is apparently U.S. Sen. […]
One of the recurring themes we’ve come back to since Sen. Cory Gardner’s narrow election victory in 2014 has been an odd deference to Gardner from the nominally liberal Denver Post editorial board–the same editorial board who endorsed Gardner that year, pointedly blowing off concerns about Gardner’s well-documented dishonesty about abortion rights despite the paper’s […]
UPDATE #4 (Friday, 11:15 am): Outside of the Denver City Jail this morning, supporters wait for news on the status of protestors arrested at Sen. Gardner’s office: —– UPDATE #3: Denver PD now disputing Gardner’s contention that he did not order the protesters’ arrest: Breaking: @DenverPolice tell me these arrests were acting on a signed complaint […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On a national conservative radio show Tuesday, guest hosted by Denver’s Ross Kaminsky, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) cited increased health-insurance costs and stated that the “most important thing we can do for this country is to make sure we have a replacement for Obamacare.” But neither Kaminsky nor Gardner pointed out […]
UPDATE: Denver7’s Blair Miller, still going strong after 24 hours: The protesters first took up residence in Gardner’s Denver office Tuesday afternoon, just hours after Senate Republicans decided not to try and vote on the Senate’s version of the bill, the Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017. The office is in a large office building […]
As the Denver Post’s John Frank reports from the swanky Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, this weekend playing host to a convention of top donors to the Koch Brothers’ network of powerful conservative advocacy organizations–where Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, if the latest reports are true, faced a major backlash from conservative funders over Gardner’s […]
The past few days leading up to the formal release yesterday of the U.S. Senate’s so-called Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017, the latest version of long-sought legislation to repeal President Barack Obama’s signature 2010 health care overhaul the Affordable Care Act, have been a major disaster politically both for the Republican Party generally and […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner built his political career in Colorado, and rallied grassroots Republican support, by opposing abortion, even for rape and incest. Part of that, of course, has meant that he’s opposed and vilified Planned Parenthood. Now it appears that the Senate’s Obamacare-replacement legislation would remove federal funds for Planned […]
UPDATE: The editorial board of the Denver Post essentially calls on Gardner to grow a spine: Gardner needs to demand more transparency from his colleagues and be one of the two “no” votes that could stop this nonsense. The senator is a member of the panel that helped draft the bill, which put him in a place to […]
UPDATE #2: Via Talking Points Memo: Rank-and-file Senate Republicans had one thing in common with their Democratic counterparts in the health care debate Tuesday: Most did not know exactly what is going to be in the GOP Obamacare repeal legislation expected to be unveiled Thursday and put up for a vote as soon as next week. […]
(Roughly 1.3 million Coloradans rely on Medicaid today — Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner continues to talk about making Medicaid “sustainable” and stable, but the key question Gardner needs to answer is, Will Colorado Medicaid recipients lose health insurance under the GOP’s Obamacare replacement?” And if so, how many? And how long a “glide […]
Denver7’s Blair Miller reports: Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper on Friday joined several other Republican and Democratic governors in criticizing the House-passed version of the bill, saying it does not adequately protect millions of Americans and needs fixing. Hickenlooper, a Democrat, joined Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D), Massachusetts Gov. Charles Baker […]
