An Open Letter to the Coward Cory Gardner, Part 5

Friday, June 30, 2017

Dear Senator Gardner,

Today's issue comes to you courtesy of your Denver office, where yesterday your representative had the Denver Police Department physically remove protestors from your office. The group was from ADAPT, a disability rights group, and shockingly enough, they don't believe you when your representative claimed,
“The organization currently in the office has spoken to Sen. Gardner several times and are in constant contact with his healthcare policy staff regarding requested reforms to our healthcare system,” Contres said. “Sen. Gardner wants the constituents that are in his office to have quality healthcare. He has concerns that our current system is imploding and won’t be able to provide quality care if nothing is done to fix it.”
Yeah. That's it. You're concerned about quality healthcare and how our current system is imploding. 

Never mind the fact that the system is "imploding" because 45 spitefully decided to withhold promised funds for the ACA. Never mind that the revocation of the Medicaid expansion (in which Colorado participated) will leave tens of thousands of Coloradans without minimal health care. Never mind the 74% increase in out of pocket costs the average American will have to deal with. Your reaction is all about your deep concern for your constituents. It couldn't possibly be about, for example, your proven track record of voting the way your Party tells you to vote and your status as a bought-and-paid-for politician of the rich.  I'm sure that has nothing to do with it AT ALL.

I don't know how you sleep at night with such hypocrisy boiling around in your brain.

Once again, please vote NO on Trumpcare. It's not right for America, and it's not right for Colorado. Grow a backbone and do what is right, not what is expedient.

Signed,

Janiece
