- Dr. Al knows if we are going to be serious restoring freedom in healthcare, we have to start by firing Dr. Anthony Fauci. Secondly, abortion is not healthcare and government should not fund Planned Parenthood or any other abortion provider. Third, we need to hold Big Pharma accountable for the harm they knowingly commit against Americans and depoliticize the FDA. Only then will we even be able to begin to see meaningful change.
