RFK Jr. is staying quiet about his vaccine changes as GOP pollsters raise red flags Health chief Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is on tour to tout his MAHA food initiatives and drug pricing over vaccines, an issue GOP pollsters see as a liability.

RFK might try to keep his attacks on vaccines quiet, but doctors won't.

With Collins undecided, Maine physicians urge she reject Trump’s surgeon general pick • Maine Morning Star Key Republican senators, including Susan Collins of Maine, remain undecided on President Donald Trump’s nomination for the nation’s top doctor. The senior senator from Maine had yet to make her decisi...

After Senator Susan Collins voted to confirm RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary last year, Maine physicians are urging her not to make the same mistake with Casey Means.

Dr. Aisha Harris, a family physician in Flint, MI, went to Washington, D.C. this week to talk about the REAL state of the union: Patients are paying more for care, and getting less access.

The ACA health coverage subsidy lapse hit 22 million people. Here are some of their stories The lapse of enhanced subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace insurance has forced families to make difficult financial choices.

Tonight President Trump will deliver his State of the Union address. Will he share the stories of the Americans who've been forced to pay thousands more per year for health care, or drop it altogether, because he let ACA tax credits expire?

Family premiums account for 10% of income in 19 states: Commonwealth Fund Middle-income workers and their families are spending an average of 10.1% of the median income on their health premiums and deductibles, according to a new report. | Middle-income workers and their fa...

Middle-income families in America are spending an average of 10% of their incomes on health premiums and deductibles now. In many states, it's even more.

Families deserve health care that doesn't bust their budgets.

POLITICO Pro: Why Congress failed to reach an Obamacare deal Lawmakers delayed negotiations despite a drumbeat of warnings. That was just the first problem.

Republicans are in charge of the House and Senate. Republicans let this happen.

RFK Jr. promised to restore trust in US health agencies. A year later, it’s eroding Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reshaping U.S. health policy as HHS secretary, and doctors say his changes are eroding trust.

@drrobdavidson.bsky.social on RFK Jr. one year in:

"You fed those people false information to create the distrust, and now you’re sweeping into power and you’re going to cure the distrust by promoting the same disinformation. It’s upside-down."

How TrumpRx drug prices compare to generic alternatives Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.

Surprise surprise: TrumpRx isn't everything it's cracked up to be.

Exciting news: The Committee to Protect Health Care is hosting our first ever national conference this year. We invite physicians to join us to get the skills and resources you need to advocate at this critical time for health care and democracy:

With an ACA fix uncertain in the Senate, Republicans replay old health care fights Things are looking bleak for a fix in Congress for ACA premiums that have doubled, on average. And Republicans are making arguments against the law that haven't worked in years past.

This is getting old.

The cost of health care, not food or rent, is now Americans’ top worry As politicians prepare their pitches for the midterm elections, a survey finds that about 1 in 3 Americans are “very worried” about health care costs.

Nearly three-quarters of voters say health care costs will affect their choices in November.

Health Care Providers Warn of Impacts of Increased ICE Presence at Health Care Facilities The presence of ICE at hospitals and health care facilities represents a reversal in policy under the Trump administration from previous policy that had protected against enforcement in these and othe...

ICE should get out of hospitals. Now.

Dr. David Clark speaks at a podium at the Virginians for Reproductive Freedom event about why physicians support the ballot measure.

Good news: Last week, the VA General Assembly moved a ballot measure forward that, if passed, will protect the individual freedom to make reproductive health care decisions without fear of government interference. Dr. David Clark joined legislators to share why physicians support the ballot measure.

Inside Minnesota Hospitals, ICE Agents Unnerve Staff

"'Any medical center or hospital is supposed to be a place of healing. It is a place where people go when they are at their most vulnerable, when they are hurt or scared or in need of care, and any presence that disrupts that environment is harmful.'"

Poll: Two in Three Are Concerned That Restrictions on Medication Abortion Would Insert Politicians And Courts Into Personal Decisions Polling on the latest attacks on abortion medication, including the most concerning aspects of restricting access to FDA-approved medication.

3 in 5 Americans support access to medication abortion via telehealth. Today's Senate HELP Committee hearing ignores public will & evidence. It's a sham hearing promoting extremism disguised as safety. See more from @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social: navigatorresearch.org/two-in-three...

@drrobdavidson.bsky.social on RFK Jr.'s latest anti-vaccine messaging:

"For him to say it'd be better if fewer kids got (the vaccine) is reckless and dangerous."

If Congress doesn't extend the ACA tax credits, more labor & delivery units will close. More rural hospitals will close. Moms and babies will pay the price.

We must stop the #HealthcareHeist.

Congressional Republicans' decision to take away ACA tax credits is harming Americans, like the families Dr. Tamara Nix in Atlanta sees. This week, Congress has an opportunity to restore the tax credits before open enrollment ends Jan. 15. Patients are depending on them to stop the #HealthcareHeist.

Opinion | RFK Jr. to America: Just trust me! Who needs the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, anyway?

A reminder that RFK Jr., who is unilaterally rolling back vaccine recommendations that keep kids safe, has no medical training.

If members of Congress *actually* want to help lower health care costs, they should extend the ACA tax credits now, and pass site-neutral payments later.

Higher cost, worse coverage: Affordable Care Act enrollees say expiring subsidies will hit them hard Americans are feeling the strain already with less than three weeks to go until the expiration of COVID-era tax credits that have helped many people pay for health insurance through the Affordable Car...

While Republicans struggle to come up with a health care plan, American families are struggling with skyrocketing premium costs.

Senate rejects dueling health care bills as Obamacare deadline looms The result virtually guarantees insurance subsidies used by more than 20 million Americans will lapse at the end of the year.

Republicans in the Senate made the choice today not to extend the ACA tax credits millions of Americans rely on to be able to afford their health care.

U.S. health care is broken. Here are 3 ways it's getting worse One year after UnitedHealthcare's CEO was shot and killed, the crisis in U.S. health care is intensifying — even for the companies and investors who make money from it.

Our health care system is broken. But Republicans are making it worse.
