Republicans have it all backwards.

First, they gutted Medicaid, causing millions of Americans to lose their health insurance.

Then, struggling rural hospitals like Palo Verde Healthcare District in Blythe were pushed into bankruptcy.

Now, changes to student loan programs are making it harder for nursing students to afford their education — blocking the next generation of healthcare workers before they even start.

As one of the few physicians in Congress, Dr. Raul Ruiz knows we need more hospitals and healthcare workers, not fewer.

He’s fighting to expand access to healthcare and ensure that funding doesn't get in the way of people receiving care or entering the healthcare profession.

But right now, he needs your help to fight back against Republican attacks aimed at flipping our district red. Will you chip in $10 right now?

Quality and affordable healthcare requires investing in infrastructure and the next generation of healthcare workers.

As a former emergency physician, I know firsthand that healthcare workers deserve every bit of support our leaders can give them. That’s why I’m committed to defending Americans’ healthcare on every front. If you’re with me in that fight, please chip in $10 now to my campaign.

The Trump administration’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” gutted Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for the one percent — leaving millions of Americans without healthcare.

The result? People are forced to go without the care they desperately need, and hospitals throughout America, like the Palo Verde Healthcare District in Blythe, are being pushed into bankruptcy.

No one should have to drive over 100 miles to receive life-saving care, but this is now the reality for thousands of Blythe residents.

And it doesn’t stop there.

The same Republican budget bill that gutted Medicaid will make it harder for students to get financing for healthcare careers like advanced nursing degrees.

This is bad news for rural communities that already face a shortage of healthcare workers and depend on nurse practitioners for primary care.

Republicans aren't just closing hospitals — they're also shrinking the next generation of healthcare workers.

These attacks on healthcare won’t end until we finally flip the House blue and take back our Democratic majority.

In this razor-slim majority, every seat counts, and my district (CA-25) is one of the most competitive districts in the nation. That’s why the Republican strategists are coming after us with everything they’ve got.

I need your help to fight back. Will you chip in any amount today to defend this seat and bring quality, affordable healthcare to every Californian?
