The app for independent voices

My quick reaction: this is a bloodbath. Some stunning examples:

- Complete elimination of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. (From the guy who keeps talking about chronic diseases as leading killers?)

- Elimination of the Office of Population Affairs. This funded the Title 10 program, which provides contraception for low-income and uninsured women. (So...they want poor women to have more unintended pregnancies?)

- Elimination of HIV prevention. (So, they'd rather let people get infected and pay the cost of antiviral treatment for life?)

- Elimination of newborn screening programs for genetic diseases and hearing loss. (We no longer care about saving babies from lifelong disabilities?)

The Constitution says that Congress, not OMB, writes the budget. Call you representative and send a copy of this proposed act of abject cruelty to them.
