A sizable coalition of former health officials are endorsing President Biden, stating that they are worried about the “threat” that former President Trump poses to public health.
In addition to six other former AMA presidents, a former U.S. surgeon general, four former acting surgeon generals, several other former deputy and assistant surgeon generals, and former representatives of the American College of Physicians, the group of 48 people is led by Dr. Andrew Gurman, a former president of the American Medical Association (AMA).
As individuals who have committed our lives to serving others, we write today. In a letter to the American People that was exclusively shared with News, the group stated, “As former leaders of national health care and delivery organizations, we have come to understand how policy can impact public health and, just as importantly, the ability of American families to afford the healthcare they need.”
