Out of touch Democrats Shannon Bird and Manny Rutinel Voted to Fund Free Healthcare for Criminal Illegal Immigrants

September 2, 2025

Out of touch Democrats Shannon Bird and Manny Rutinel just voted to authorize $100 million of taxpayer funds to give criminal illegal immigrants in Colorado free healthcare.

At the same time, Governor Polis is cutting more than $100 million from Medicaid through an executive order.

While Colorado Democrats like radical Rutinel and boneheaded Bird stand with criminal illegal immigrants, Congressman Gabe Evans is fighting to strengthen and protect Medicaid for Colorado's most vulnerable.

Gabe Evans voted to increase Medicaid spending year after year while removing illegal immigrants and enacting commonsense work requirement for able-bodied adults. Evans also has urged Colorado Democrats to stop providing free taxpayer-funded health care to illegal immigrants in order to protect single mothers, individuals with disabilities, children, and seniors.

"Colorado Democrats like Shannon Bird and Manny Rutinel have made their priorities clear, and it's not hardworking families or vulnerable Coloradans. Gabe Evans is standing up to this madness and putting Coloradans first by protecting Medicaid and stopping handouts to criminal illegal immigrants." - NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon
