Holding the Trump administration accountable for unqualified appointees and dangerous policies at our nation’s health department
HHS Watch, a campaign run by Equity Forward, examines decision makers at our nation’s health department. Across the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Trump administration has appointed a group of unqualified and politically motivated ideologues to run the agency. Equity Forward monitors decision makers at our nation’s health department through a full audit into the positions and backgrounds of appointees and continuous monitoring of their actions.
Anti-Reproductive Health Appointees
President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and HHS Secretary Alex Azar are overseeing a wholesale redesign of America’s health policy, particularly as it relates to reproductive health. They’ve stacked our nation’s health department with unqualified ideologues who are working overtime to restrict access to health care care services like birth control and abortion, endangering the millions of women and families who rely on the department's programs.
