I\nmet with Senator Cory Gardner, as well as Representatives Joe Neguse and Scott\nTipton. &nbsp;I also met with staff of Senator\nMichael Bennet and Representative Jason Crow. We discussed policy work to\nincrease Coloradan\u2019s health insurance access while decreasing costs, and I encouraged\nthem to spread the message about the <a href=\"https:\/\/connectforhealthco.com\/financial-help\/get-financial-help\/\">financial\nhelp already available<\/a> to their constituents. I also shared the progress\nConnect for Health Colorado is making to ensure our technology platform will be\nready to meet the evolving needs of our state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in D.C., I also had the opportunity to continue to\nbuild my relationship and trust with our federal oversight group, the Center\nfor Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight.
