and Dems must see to it that the public is FULLY INFORMED..

This is/may be #1, there will be many more, and our/Dems work begins NOW.

The threats are no longer hypothetical—they affect real people & communities.

it sucks but many people don't care about bigotry unless they can claim the victim is a white man.

13. Trump's decision to quickly reverse Biden's order
Wed Jan 22, 2025, 01:09 PM
Jan 2025

Biden's order directed the Department of Health and Human Services to explore strategies to reduce costs. The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) responded to the order with programs to cap the price of certain generic drugs at $2 for Medicare beneficiaries, improve Medicaid access to high-cost cell and gene therapies and to streamline the evidence-gathering process for new drugs.

How much harm this will result in is hard for me to assess at this point.

But cruelty is the point, it's what the MAGAts love.
