A public health success story: How the mpox crisis was controlled within 6 months

Let's be clear on what this would actually do: CUT Medicare benefits to seniors that @POTUS expanded in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 - like capping insulin at $35/month, making recommended vaccines free, and FINALLY allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices.

I am proud to be a co-sponsor of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2023—legislation that will repeal Democrats’ bogus bill so we can actually solve America’s inflation crisis.
