The Colorado Sun: When Rep. Gabe Evans told his CD-8 constituents that the federal budget bill he endorsed doesn’t cut Medicaid, he either was deliberately lying or was so ill-informed he should be removed from office for rank incompetence.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s analysis has found that the bill, now signed into law, will eliminate about $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending over the next decade and 11.8 million people will lose health insurance.

In Colorado, six rural hospitals are expected to close and as many as 150,000 recipients will lose health insurance coverage as a result of the measure.
