This poor guy. He's a good man, but he really needs to step down and get help.

🧪Did you know that America is known for its cancer research b/c of the National Cancer Act in 1971 signed by Nixon. Mary Lasker took her cause to congress and the American public as a leading proponent of the National Cancer Act. She said, "If you think research is expensive, try disease!"

Reducing reimbursements for care, which is what Medicaid does, only raises healthcare costs for everyone.
Trump’s little Johnson knows just as much about how healthcare is managed as he does about performing oral sex on a woman.
