 August 13, 2022 - It's Heroes and History Day on this edition of Veterans Voice featuring former Blue Angel and Top Gun movie pilot for Tom Cruise, Scott “Intake” Kartvedt.  Then, author/storyteller Zach Morris on his new book, When the Beaches Trembled, chronicling life in the Landing Craft Infantry as seen through the eyes of seamen who were there.

A federal judge could decide as soon as today to unseal the warrant used to authorize the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. It comes after a public statement from Attorney General Merrick Garland yesterday, where Garland said he believes there is “substantial public interest” in the matter. Trump said on social media that he supports warrant’s “immediate” release but has until this afternoon for his attorneys to challenge the motion to unseal the warrant. Multiple sources have told ABC News that the Department of Justice and the FBI believed that Trump continued to hold on to sensitive classified documents with national security implications.

A new survey of Colorado voters from Impact Research and Keating Research, on behalf of Consumers for Quality Care (CQC), reveals voters see high out-of-pocket costs as the biggest issue in the state’s health care system. Coloradans are ready to support politicians who make lowering out-of-pocket costs a priority.

 

“Coloradans are tired of insurers nickel and diming consumers,” said the Hon. Donna Christensen, CQC board member, physician, and former Member of Congress. “Rising monthly premiums, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs have led to so many patients being plagued with thousands of dollars in medical debt that often goes into collections. It’s time for insurance to act like insurance and for our lawmakers to prioritize lowering costs and improving access to quality care.”

 

Colorado voters’ number one concern when it comes to health care is that out-of-pocket costs are too high, and deductibles are the costs that people struggle with the most. Eighty-four percent of Colorado voters believe it is more important now than ever that insurance cover mental health care, but more than half (59%) think it is difficult to find mental health providers that are affordable or covered by insurance.
