Children's Hospital Colorado voices concerns about potential cuts to Medicaid, calling it a "kids' program"

"We run a pretty lean system here. There are a lot of checks and balances in the Medicaid system, and so any significant cuts are really going to deprive us of the value that we can provide their kids and their families and the health care that they receive." – Dr. Christopher Stille, Section head of general academic pediatrics, Children's Hospital Colorado

"The data shows that children who have Medicaid are more prepared to go to preschool and kindergarten, they are more likely to graduate from high school, and they are more likely to go on to get jobs, pay taxes, contribute to the system." – Dr. Monica Federico, Medical director of population health, Children's Hospital Colorado
