Was a moderator on this panel. It was inspiring to hear so many senior scientists not mince words about the negative impact the One Big Beautiful Bill will have on cardiovascular health and the health of our nation. They spoke in plain language, and the audience left with some clear action items.
DCRI founding director and faculty member Rob Califf, MD, highlighted the importance of speaking out and sharing one’s values during a session discussing the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on Friday afternoon at #AHA25.
