Murthy was virulently anti-Second Amendment & considered guns a “health care issue”. Very glad he’s gone. Nothing negative immediately pops up about his successor - looks like she actually worked her way up. Dr. Murthy was Obama’s kind of guy - I remember when he was confirmed, it about made me sick (no pun intended).
Dr. Vivek Hallegere Murthy is the president and founder of Doctors for America, which grew from the campaign organization that was called Doctors for Obama, started in 2008. The organization has advocated for a number of liberal initiatives, including strongly supporting the passage of Obamacare and Medicaid expansion.
The group has also been supportive of the Obama administration’s failed push for expanding gun control laws in 2013. It successfully fought a proposed Florida law that would have prevented doctors from including in a person’s medical file whether they are a gun owner. Doctors for America has referred to guns as a public health threat, and circulated a petition to pressure Congress to pass stricter gun laws.
Doctors who are strictly political? Wow. No wonder the doc fix was done in Obamacare, along with the insurers um fix. Guess who was left out, the nurses, X-ray and myriads of others.. and most importantly, the patients.
Winning!
The further this creep is away from health care, the better.
We don't need political pimp Doctors running anything but their mouth.
