Caraveo and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra started the day April 4 with a visit to the Salud Clinic in Fort Lupton.

“ ey really are a model of integration of dental care, behavioral care, pharmacy, all in one clinic,” Caraveo said..” ey noted in particular that the easier we make it for patients to access all di erent parts of the system and all the specialists that are needed for their care, the more likely they are to go through their care. If they are having problems with mental health, they have professionals that can talk about that or help them get screened. ey have a pharmacist that can make sure everything is being taken properly and not interacting.”

She ended her 8th District tour later that afternoon with a stop at Brighton’s Sakata Farms to discuss upcoming farm legislation and said she would promote grants to help local food banks.

“ ere is an entrenchment of urban and rural divides. In this narrative, we will not let the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) be cut, and the other side says SNAP will be cut,” Cavaveo said..”I’m concentrating on this to ensure pediatricians like myself can continue these needed programs so kids don’t have hunger issues.”

Inflation Reduction Act

Billed as a question-and-answer update of the federal In ation Reduction Act signed into law last year, the ornton Active Adult discussion never strayed far from prescription prices. e In ation Reduction Act was the nal result of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better e orts. It included reforms meant to promote green energy options, to close tax loopholes on corporations and those making $400,000 and to lower health care premiums.

But the act also allows the government to negotiate drug prices on certain pharmaceuticals. at is key for Becerra. He noted those negotiations have lowered the price of insulin to $35 for senior Medicare patients, with hopes that will lower the cost for privately insured patients.

“Moving forward, we are going to start being able to negotiate prices on more drugs under the Medicare program,” he said..”If what happens with insulin happens with other drugs, we should begin to see the prices go down and not just for the people on Medicare but for everyone.”

Comments

Moderated by Lily Griego, a regional director of the federal Health and Human Services Department, the roundtable discussion included local Caraveo supporters from ornton and Greeley. But Colorado o cials from the Polis Administration, the AARP and City of ornton were also on hand to listen.

John Bass, Broom eld resident who retired from the construction industry after a cancer diagnosis said relief from the cost of medicine is key.

“I accidentally got a bill once for my treatment and it was only $13,000 a shot,” Bass said..”And I just freaked out. I’d just gone on Medicare and I didn’t know how to x it.”

Former Greeley Dentist Rocky Kron, a Kaiser Permanente customer now, took it a step further, saying it medical groups save money and make medicine better.

“I’m a huge supporter of community health centers and I think my experience with Kaiser Permanente has been better because of the coordination of bene ts, similar to what Congresswoman Caraveo was talking about with Salud,” Kron said..” e services are all coordinated and the doctors are all working together in the same plant so they can talk to each other. I think we need to move to a more socialized form of medicine to lower costs and coordinate care.”

The Project is situated adjacent to U.S. Highway (US) 85, beginning north of HW 52 and ending north of East 168th avenue in Weld County, Colorado (Project Area) (Attachment A). Construction of the pipeline requires 1,250

Most of the pipeline and lift station in the Project Area will be constructed within the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Right of Way (ROW) and the existing WWTP. The anticipated area of disturbance, including all trenching, excavation, and equipment staging, encompasses approximately 42.35 acres.

Burns and McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc., an environmental consultant, prepared an environmental assessment for USDA Rural Development that describes the project, assesses the proposed project’s environmental impacts, and summarizes as applicable any mitigation measures used to minimize environmental effects.

USDA RD has conducted an independent evaluation of the environmental assessment and believes that it accurately assesses the impacts of the proposed project. No significant impacts are expected as a result of the construction of the project.

Questions and comments should be sent to USDA RD at the contact information provided above. USDA will accept questions and comments on the environmental assessment for 14 days from the date of publication of this notice.

Any final action by USDA RD RUS, related to the proposed project will be subject to, and contingent upon, compliance with all relevant Federal environmental laws and regulations and completion of environmental review procedures as prescribed by 7 CFR Part 1970, Environmental Policies and Procedures.

A general location map of the proposal is shown below.
