Quick signature: Tell Congress to close the Medicaid gap!

People are often surprised to hear that even a physician can end up on Medicaid...but I’m a great example that it can happen to anyone.

Say NO to RFK Jr. to lead Health and Human Services!

01/10/25

Donald Trump’s nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (a.k.a. RFK Jr.), is grossly unqualified and a dangerous pick to be put in charge of safeguarding our nation’s health and must be stopped!
