Ed Perlmutter voted to ensure people with preexisting conditions cannot be discriminated against when obtaining health insurance by voting against the 46th pointless attempt by House Republicans to repeal and/or delay the Affordable Care Act. Perlmutter said, "In the wake of the President's announcement yesterday, I believe the majority of my constituents in Colorado will have more flexibility and choices to obtain health insurance that meets their needs as we continue the transition to the functioning and operational Colorado marketplace, Connect for Health Colorado. The rise in health insurance costs is slowing, and the rate of premium increases are at their lowest levels in years. The Republican bill before the House today doesn't move us forward. The Republican bill threatens the health care security of hard working families and allows health insurance companies to continue selling substandard plans indefinitely that do not provide basic coverage, force women to pay more for their coverage and discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions. As I prepare to purchase my own family's health insurance policy through the DC marketplace, I also browsed through Colorado's connectforhealthco.com site so I can understand the options myconstituents have. I found it easy to navigate, and there are lots of plans, options and competition within the market in Colorado. I urge Coloradans to take the time to check out what's available to them and find a policy that meets their needs." f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
