This is so disgusting. If you think some people deserve healthcare and others don't, then pick another career. This doc better lose their medical license.

Trump wants to defund one of the most important agencies for one of the poorest parts of the country. This commission has been instrumental to bringing the region out of the darkness and into the light.
