If Republicans allow the tax credits that help people afford their health care premiums expire, a couple in Ouray would be forced to pay over $1000/ month for health insurance. That is unbelievable.
Coloradans cannot afford that.
Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to preserve these credits.

Brazil built *4.5 million homes* with just their public housing program in just 9 years - Brazil has an economy slightly larger than the size of Northern California's. The entire housing economy, including private home construction, built probably 750k homes in Northern California during this time.

Proud of our team who defended at #SCOTUS Colorado's ban on so-called "conversion therapy," a discredited and harmful practice. Medical professionals should not be given a First Amendment right to harm patients with substandard care. For more details, see here: www.westword.com/news/colorad...

These are not fringe or ideological documents. They come from the major professional bodies whose role is precisely to set the norms and standards in mental health and medical practice.

Conversion therapy isn’t “free speech.”
It’s malpractice.
Speech used to manipulate or harm a client isn’t protected; just like a doctor can’t prescribe poison and call it “medical opinion.”
Licensure means accountability. #DoNoHarm #EthicsMatter

Conversion therapy has nothing to do with free speech. It’s about professional responsibility.
“We were told by pastors and Focus on the Family that we had to fix him. Instead, we taught him to hate himself. And when a child is dead, you don’t ever get to repair that,” Linda Robertson, whose son died by suicide after conversion therapy, told me at the court.
