3) Did I mention this is all to cut taxes for the rich?
In the first 15 minutes of the E&C markup, the number 13.7 million uninsured has already come up twice. It's an exaggeration of what the GOP bill would do. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...

It's hard to overstate how damaging RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz would be our country's health. If the Senate votes for their confirmation, they're only elevating and validating their dangerous fringe beliefs and setting our public health gains back by generations while our vital health programs are gutted.

Trump and his GOP friends are trying to take away Medicaid from millions of Americans so they can fund tax breaks for the richest 1% and biggest corporations.

Medicaid covers 1 in 4 Americans including kids, moms, seniors, people of color, rural Americans, and people with disabilities!

Well, just as we feared - it's RKF, Jr. The American people deserve a leader at HHS who believes in science and is committed to making health care a right, not a privilege – not someone who wants to ban Cheez-Its and Children’s Tylenol.
