President Trump and Congressional Republicans are advancing an anti-science and anti-healthcare agenda that threatens the well-being of millions.
Today, they proposed massive cuts to critical services across the country, including over $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid which provides health coverage to over 70 million Americans.
Last week, the Trump Administration cut millions in grant funding from the National Institute of Health - with potentially catastrophic results for medical research, the economy, and the health of Pennsylvanians and all Americans.
And tomorrow, it seems likely that the Senate will confirm RFK, Jr - a vaccine-denying, anti-science conspiracy theorist who will blindly follow Donald Trump’s efforts to eviscerate the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid and deeply damage public health.
As a practicing emergency physician, I ran for office to ensure that our government was making decisions informed by science and medicine and support the delivery of healthcare that is affordable and accessible for all.
Our State Legislatures are on the front lines of the fight against the devastating Trump and Republican anti-healthcare agenda. I have spoken out against these devastating policies. As a physician-legislator, I am committed to this fight. But I cannot do this alone. Will you join me by chipping in $25, $50, or $100 today?
Together, we can stop the radical anti-science, anti-healthcare agenda that will harm all of us.
Sincerely,
Rep. Arvind Venkat, MD
