Defend Public Health and Restore U.S. Leadership in Medicine

Before the Trump–Kennedy administration took power, the United States was widely recognized as a world leader in medicine, technology, and healthcare innovation. We led groundbreaking research, developed lifesaving vaccines, and set the standard for medical advancement. Now, just months into this administration, we are watching that progress unravel at an alarming pace. Preventable diseases are once again killing Americans. Critical medical trials that promised to deliver breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other devastating conditions are being defunded. Families are losing access to vaccines that keep children and communities safe. Ordinary people are being stripped of affordable healthcare coverage. This is not simply bad policy—it is a direct attack on the health and survival of the American people. The richest country in the world should never accept a system where children die of measles, seniors are forced to skip medications, and working families are left without doctors. We should be leading the globe in cutting-edge research, medical technology, and equitable healthcare access—not dismantling it for ideology and political gain. I urge you to: 1. Protect and expand access to vaccines to prevent avoidable disease and death. 2. Restore funding for vital medical research and clinical trials that drive innovation and cures. 3. Defend healthcare access for all Americans regardless of income, geography, or political climate. 4. Reassert U.S. leadership in global health and medical technology, ensuring that we remain a nation that saves lives and inspires scientific progress. The American people cannot afford to wait while this administration undermines decades of medical advancement. Congress must stand up now—protect science, protect healthcare, and protect lives.
