Republicans just stripped healthcare from 17 million people. As a doctor, I know what that means:.More times I'll have to look a patient in the eye and say, "I'm sorry, your insurance won't cover that.".More frustration as diabetes or high blood pressure spirals because care was.

I’ll never forgive this Administration for what they’ve done—and what they’re still doing—to the Latino community. If you’re Latino, you should be furious—and in 2026, 2028, 2030, and every election after that, vote out everyone who enabled this hate.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

WOW. Senate Republicans voted to slash Medicaid for 12 MILLION people—the biggest healthcare cut in U.S. history. If the House passes this bill, millions will get sicker. The only thing sicker? The people who voted for it. Please call your House rep NOW to vote NO.

No one should be denied medical care, no matter where they are. Hospital, jail, ICE detention center, or the street—if you’re sick, you deserve help. Anything less is medical neglect. ICE must be held accountable.

This story is appalling. She was 5 months pregnant, yet doctors at the ICE detention center didn't give her any prenatal care, or an ultrasound, even as she got sicker and sicker. When they finally took her to the hospital, she was shackled the entire time of her miscarriage.
