Many thanks to the incredible DPH members Jackie Goldenberg and Dr. Aurora Horstcamp for their herculean efforts to create these.

DPH's public comment on Medicaid work requirements proposed by the Trump administration. Our comments note that the proposed rule "goes even further than the widespread and
dangerous cuts enacted in HR1, making even more people with medical conditions
vulnerable to falling through the cracks and losing the Medicaid coverage on which they
depend for their ongoing care."

After a year of relentless attacks on the health of Americans from the highest levels of government, Defend Public Health believes it is critical to not just fight back against those attacks, but to articulate a positive vision for what U.S. public health can and should be in the future. In our view, we can't just rebuild what has been broken. We must build something better, more expansive, that truly gives everyone in the U.S. access to what they need for a healthy life.
