Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itThis is a specific numerical projection about Medicaid coverage loss in Colorado, which would be highly significant if accurate. The figure and timeframe are verifiable against CBO estimates, state projections, or independent analyses of the legislation referenced.
What we foundThe 240,000 figure exists in the public record but refers to a decade-long projection, not losses over 'the next year and a half,' and other authoritative estimates for the near-term period differ substantially.
