We spend twice as much per capita on health care as almost any nation on Earth. We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured.
Republicans — pathetically — have nothing serious to say about the health care crisis.

RFK just pulled funding for mRNA vaccine research, a short-sighted move that weakens our ability to respond quickly to the next pandemic. mRNA tech isn’t just COVID; it’s our best shot at rapid, targeted protection when new threats emerge. Science needs support, not sabotage.
The health secretary, who is a known vaccine skeptic, claimed that mRNA vaccines “fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu.”

Doctors depend on these recommendations to know which tests actually prevent disease. Killing the task force is the opposite of making America healthy. Dismantling it is a tragedy.
