wapo.st/4mFzDOQ RFK Jr.'s hearings continue to highlight why a conspiracy theorist shouldn't be head of the HHS. His ideologically driven policies are costing American lives. That’s why we’re fighting for his impeachment. Contact your Rep. at tr.ee/removeRFKJr #ImpeachRFKJr #RemoveRFKJr

Joseph Schwartz’s case is the latest in a string of health care fraud pardons by Trump. The president also granted clemency to nursing home magnate Philip Esformes, convicted of a $1.3B scheme, and Judith Negron, convicted in a $200M fraud case.

A Nursing Home Owner Got a Trump Pardon. The Families of His Patients Got Nothing.
At least three families won multimillion-dollar wrongful death suits against former Skyline Healthcare owner Joseph Schwartz. They haven’t collected a cent.

TrumpRx supposedly helps people pay less for prescription drugs. In reality, it sends users to pharma giants’ websites, where they can pay out of pocket for certain medications. One company that could benefit? BlinkRx, which has Donald Trump, Jr. on its board. Funny how that works.
