Republicans Are Pulling the Plug on American Healthcare

Dr. Bryce Pulliam

American healthcare is on life support, and Republican policies now threaten to pull the plug.

Last summer, all but five GOP lawmakers worked with the Trump administration to enact the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a law that defunds healthcare for working families, all while funding tax breaks for billionaires. That’s why I testified at an Oct. 8 hearing held by House Democrats in Washington, D.C., to speak out against this partisan law—because it will deepen a crisis at every level of our healthcare system.

As an emergency physician in Oregon with Northwest Medicine United, AFT Local 6552, I have had the privilege of serving my community for more than a decade. Emergency physicians treat anyone in need of care, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.
