Post-COVID recovery for rural CO healthcare is hard.  #PublicOption makes it even harder.  Expensive, one size fits all, big government plan isn't what rural Coloradans need! Great column in the Sun today by the Colorado Business Roundtable’s Debbie Brown:

130 rural hospitals have closed down since 2010. Here’s a good column from Senator Ray Scott on the devastating impact that a “public option” healthcare system would have on rural Coloradans’ access to care:   https://t.co/hc4dlaTjYS

I look forward to today's @FinancialCmte hearing to see how effective CARES Act has been (especially for rural communities) & how Congress & the Administration can continue to put political differences aside to remain focused on the dire issues at hand. https://t.co/4tkzdWPET6

It's been three months since the CARES Act was signed into law. We understood then just as we do now that there would be necessary changes and tweaks along the way, but already this critical legislation has helped and will continue to help millions of Americans battle COVID-19.

Help the fire crews out by paying attention to local fire restrictions. This is important to do all year long, but especially in the summer months. #KnowBeforeYouGo https://t.co/hU4CCotYvs

PILT plays a critical role to help these communities bridge budgetary challenges and I look forward to these funds being used to support essential infrastructure and services that would likely not exist without this money.

Colorado’s Third District is fortunate to have abundant public spaces for recreation and shared use, but given that many of these areas are non-taxable, a lack of tax revenue places significant budgetary constraints on rural areas.

Thank you to @Interior and @SecBernhardt for delivering critical PILT payments to communities with large amounts of public lands across the country. These are the communities the Western Caucus was founded to fight for and will continue to fight for!

Nearly 1/3 of House Dems have evaded their responsibility and have voted by proxy – and Democrats have now EXTENDED it. We were elected to represent our constituents and vote on their behalf in Congress. Speaker Pelosi's unconstitutional voting scheme has no place in Congress.

Instead of dealing with the most pressing challenges facing our nation or negotiating in good faith to reach a bipartisan consensus on police reform... House Dems are pressing forward with their political agenda, ignoring the Constitution and voting to grant D.C. statehood.
