Pausing SNAP benefits would leave 900,000 Washingtonians—1 in 9 of our neighbors—without access to food. “This will mean empty cupboards, missed meals, and impossible choices,” writes HSPOP's Neil Jay Sehgal in The Seattle Times . https://loom.ly/j6TxVF0

“Without Medicaid funds, hospitals will struggle, if not fail, leaving residents with limited access to emergency or specialty care. Washington already has the fewest hospital beds per capita of any U.S. state; we simply cannot afford another hospital closure.”

Fixed it for myself: “The confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will put the nation’s health in jeopardy with potentially catastrophic consequences.”
At the heart of HHS’s mission is the promotion of evidence-based public health and medical practices.
Kennedy’s anti-science views and opposition to vaccines — among the most effective tools for preventing disease in human history — directly contradict that mission.

RFK Jr.’s nomination to lead HHS is a direct threat to public health
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may present himself as a champion of public health, but his track record reveals a starkly different reality.
