After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, Cyndi relied on her Connect for Health plan for the life-saving treatments and therapies she needed. Now she's in remission & facing the impossible choice of skipping her annual appointments or paying $1200 more/ month for coverage she can't afford. (1/2)

As federal workers continue to work without pay, and the government shutdown affects services across Colorado, please visit my website for information and resources that can help. My office is open and ready to assist however we can during this time. www.bennet.senate.gov/government-s...

Colorado: If you have a Connect for Health Colorado plan, you can log on now and see plan prices for next year. Many Coloradans will see their premiums double or triple. Please share your 2026 increases here, and I will continue to shine a light on this crisis that our state is now facing.

Connect for Health Colorado, health insurance, get health insurance in Colorado

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 30(source)

Bob's story is the reality for countless Coloradans. Working families in our state simply cannot afford to pay thousands more every month for health insurance. I will keep fighting to ensure more Coloradans don’t lose their coverage as a result of this crisis.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 29(source)

The Trump Administration spent $20 billion in taxpayer dollars to prop up Argentina and paved the way for their beef producers to profit at the expense of our own. I will continue to demand answers from Trump’s appointees for this ridiculous policy and betrayal of Colorado’s ranchers.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 29(source)

These immigration actions are inhumane, and attacking the First Amendment rights of Coloradans is un-American. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 29(source)

Yesterday, the Durango community came together to peacefully protest the cruel actions of an ICE raid that separated a family. I am outraged to see that in response, ICE confronted the protestors with pepper spray, rubber bullets, and physical force. (1/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 28(source)

Instead of ending his trade war and bringing down costs to help struggling ranchers, President Trump is prioritizing his friendship with Argentina’s president & his country’s beef producers over our own. Colorado ranchers and their families deserve stability, not politically driven trade policies.

Higher premiums will force working families across the state to choose between health care and other necessities like groceries or rent. And yet, Republicans refuse to extend this critical lifeline. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 27(source)

Coloradans who purchase health insurance through the ACA marketplace may see their premiums double or triple next year. This is unacceptable. (1/2)

Anxiety and uncertainty loom for 300,000 Coloradans who buy health insurance on their own

Health insurance for 300,000 Coloradans could see big price increases in 2026 if Congress does not extended enhanced premium subsidies.

The proposed acquisition of Tegna — the parent company of 9News — by Nexstar, would make it the largest local broadcasting company in the country & threaten local journalism in Colorado and beyond. Proud to partner with @bennet.senate.gov in imploring the FCC to reject it.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 26(source)

Next year, a couple in El Paso County could be forced to pay $950 a month for health insurance. This is the real cost of Republicans' refusal to negotiate to extend premium health care tax credits for working families. Coloradans cannot afford it.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 24(source)

If Republicans don’t work with Democrats to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing: A couple in Jackson County would pay over $1400 a month for health insurance. There are real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it.

We must protect this landscape, its vital wildlife and ecosystems, and the sovereignty of Arctic Indigenous peoples. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 24(source)

President Trump’s repeated attempts to exploit one of the last truly wild landscapes in America will have irreversible consequences. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is simply too precious and culturally significant for oil and gas development. (1/2)

As many federal workers continue to work without pay, I’ve refused to accept my own and will donate my salary to Colorado organizations in need once Republicans come to the table and finally end their shutdown.

Up to 100,000 Coloradans could lose their health coverage if ACA premium tax credits aren’t extended. This is an issue of life and death. Republicans must come to the table now to prevent the loss of this lifeline before it’s too late.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 23(source)

Amid Putin’s barrage of attacks – and his unwillingness to seriously negotiate an end to this conflict – we must provide greater support for Ukraine’s air defenses, continue intelligence-sharing, and, in concert with our allies, leverage Russian sovereign assets on Ukraine’s behalf. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 23(source)

These long-overdue sanctions on Russian oil producers should be the first of several steps to increase pressure on Putin to end his war on Ukraine. (1/2)

This is the first time the U.S. has imposed sanctions against Russia over the war with Ukraine since Trump assumed office.
