It is outrageous to see DOGE dismantle primary care centers, family planning, HIV and so much of what HRSA does. They would need to restore it a once they realize how needed these programs are.
Even if they don't know the name, millions of Americans owe their health to HRSA, the federal agency that funds community centers, maternal & infant health programs, HIV care and more. Their health will suffer if a Trump administration plan to eliminate the agency comes to fruition. bit.ly/HRSAharm

Instead of cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid, Congress should tackle a *real* source of waste: the so-called “Medicare Advantage” program.
