“It is even wilder to see Republicans, who since 1980 have held so fervently to the idea of free markets that they have denounced even the most basic regulations as socialism, celebrate the government takeover of a private company”

Here is a list of critical federal health programs for families that they want to cut.

Without these programs families will have fewer resources to care for loved ones, young and old. Those on the edge will fall into poverty.

Call your reps.

Nurses are the unsung heroes of public health.

The leaked FY 2026 HHS budget could eliminate the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and most Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development Programs, which support nursing research, education, and training.
