In an interview with Colorado Matters, the governor discussed how the so-called ‘big, beautiful bill’ will affect Colorado, plus a lawsuit he faces over housing policy.

Gov. Jared Polis blasted Congressional Republicans over a bill passed in the early hours of Thursday morning, saying the budget cuts included in the so-called “big, beautiful bill” would kick some Coloradans off their health care and raise costs for the rest.
“If this passes, we’re talking 20 to 30 percent increases in premiums for most Coloradans,” Polis told Colorado Matters senior host Ryan Warner during an interview Thursday afternoon, adding that number was based on “the cost of the uncompensated care for the hundreds of thousands of people who would lose their coverage entirely.”
