Thanks to Elon Musk Donald J. Trump our nation's seniors will no longer have access to essential telehealth services that expire at the end of the year. Doctor who care for seniors will see their pay cut in 2025 & PBMs will continue to rip off patients. Way to govern!

Thank you Sherrod Brown for your years of service in the House and Senate. You have been an advocate for improving access to care for all Americans and proud to have worked with you to fix the Medicare screening colonoscopy loophole.

Thank you Lisa Mathew, MD and Gastro Broadcast for having me to discuss the importance of physicians participating in advocacy. We will definitely need you this year to speak for GI and for our patients!

I'm 100% in favor of getting rid of waste and fraud. Can President Elon please explain to us how research into chemo drugs and cancer treatments is now considered wasteful? He can't. Because it's all BS and lies. Dismantling the NIH like this will kill people.

Its not often I agree w/ the WSJ editorial page, but this is spot on. RFK Jr. is the nation’s health secretary, and there are children in the hospital with measles who shouldn’t have to be there. wsj.com/opinion/rfk-jr… via Wall Street Journal Opinion

Incredibly short sighted that will impact public health & research for years. You can't just turn research on & off nytimes.com/2025/02/18/us/… via @NYTimes

The assault on science continues. The current CR would cut DoD's cancer research program that funds GI cancers. Enough is enough! 📣 Cancer doesn't care if you are a R or a Dem - we need research 🔬

R's CR funds gov't for rest of fiscal year. But R leaders again fail to address cuts to Medicare for physicians. 2nd year in a row that Congress has cut physicians. Oh, cuts biomedical research too. So much for making America healthy. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Honored to be with these two rock stars 🌟 Champions for patients, physicians, researchers and science! Research is how we have come this far in preventing and treating CRC. We need more 💰for research 🔬

The assault on science continues - so much our new HHS sec not being 'anti-vaccine.' How many more kids have to die of a preventable illness? washingtonpost.com/health/2025/03…

The Republican funding bill cuts DoD cancer research by 57% 😳 This is devastating news for GI cancers like gastric, pancreas, liver which are some of the deadliest cancers. rollcall.com/2025/03/13/fea…

So much for the focus on chronic disease. NIH cancels funding for landmark diabetes study at a time of focus on chronic disease statnews.com/2025/03/17/tru… via STAT

THANK you Susan Collins for Senator & Senator Patty Murray for your leadership in holding this hearing today on biomedical research & your strong opposition for slashing NIH & capping indirect costs at 15% - which defies Congress. American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) supports your efforts. 🧪🔬
