Buc-ee's and Medicaid Under Fire | Denver News

Buc-ee’s is pushing to build a massive, Costco-sized travel center in El Paso County, Colorado — but calling it a “convenience store” to skirt zoning rules. Residents are furious: the bright lights, noise, and sheer scale would shatter the neighborhood’s quiet charm. They’re demanding the county enforce size limits based on actual convenience store footprints to preserve community character. Meanwhile, a separate firestorm rages over Medicaid — critics say rampant fraud is draining funds from those who need it most, and propose stricter work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents to protect the program’s integrity and ensure help reaches the truly vulnerable.
