Imagine that. Women need a Bill that ensures women's right to healthcare.

If U are 🇨🇦, and an adult, U pay taxes that go towards our social healthcare system. Therefore, all persons in 🇨🇦 are entitled to healthcare equally. Again, all people are entitled to healthcare.

If you are #HIV positive and are a man who has sex with men, get anal Pap smears done yearly at age 35 to detect and prevent #analcancer. Get your #HPV vaccine if you qualify as well!

The thing is, it wasn't just "one belligerent fool." He was empowered and supported by an entire army of smarter sycophants who supposedly knew better. But their spines and morality were not up to the task. They still aren't.

How does the uterus regenerate itself?

Dr. Diana Monsivais's lab has identified a critical stem cell niche essential for endometrial repair. This discovery, guided by TGF beta signaling, is a huge step toward non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis and heavy menstrual bleeding.

Illinois adopts American Academy of Pediatrics vaccine schedule, shunning federal recommendations Illinois’ adoption of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ childhood vaccine schedule is the latest example of Illinois breaking with the federal government over health care policies.

While Donald Trump and RFK Jr. push conspiracy theories over science, my administration is forging a path that puts our people first.

Illinois will adopt the American Academy of Pediatrics' vaccine schedule to keep families safe.
