Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans in Congress are coming for your health care. He said he is going to take “a blow torch” to the Affordable Care Act.

We have a fight on our hands and need to make it clear to them that they will lose their Seats in 2026 if they try to do this again.

Public health experts and scientists say RFK could do "infinite" damage if he's appointed to lead HHS. It's not just vaccines or fluoride: it's Medicaid and Medicare funding, drug development, cancer research, funding for Indian Health Service... it's endless. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “a genuine catastrophe.”
As Secretary of Health and Human Services, the “damage he could do is near infinite.”
