NEW: “Evans Expresses Support for Repealing ACA”

In his latest disastrous debate performance, Gabe Evans repeatedly "came under attack for his positions on health care" after "he expressed support for repealing the Affordable Care Act."

Repealing the ACA would threaten coverage for the nearly 800,000 Coloradans with pre-existing conditions and raise premiums on 151,000 Coloradans.

While Yadira Caraveo has led the charge to increase transparency in hospital prices and lower prescription drug costs, Evans has repeatedly opposed efforts to lower health care costs for families. In the state legislature, he voted against lowering insurance premiums and prescription drug costs, capping the price of life saving medication, and decreasing hospital fees.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"The choice couldn't be more clear: Gabe Evans wants to rip health care away from hundreds of thousands of Coloradans and has consistently made it harder for families to afford quality care. Yadira Caraveo is a pediatrician who has led efforts in the state legislature and in Congress to expand health care access and affordability."
