## Resource

Colorado’s Medicaid program is slashing caregiver hours from 112 to 56 per week to cut costs—saving millions this year and more next—with devastating impacts on families like Ronnie Broyles, who fought to keep his daughter’s care intact. Though he got a rare exception, it expires in November, and others face crushing denials. Broyles is now lobbying lawmakers to hold agencies accountable, exposing how some take nearly 60% of funds meant for kids—and demanding reforms before the cap fully takes effect in 2027.
