"RFK Jr.'s support is growing, particularly among Moms, America's true frontline healthcare providers." – Dr. Joseph Varon

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Independent Medical Alliance (IMA) President and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Joseph Varon, released the following statement today on the Senate Finance Committee vote that recommends RFK Jr. to a full vote of the Senate.

"Americans demand a frank conversation about the state of our government healthcare agencies, and we're very grateful for the Senators who responded by voting to move RFK Jr.'s nomination to the full Senate. 

"For many of us, the government's heavy-handed, one-size-fits-all response to the COVID-19 Pandemic was an eye opener. And we quickly realized that our nation's healthcare system is broken. America spends more than any other industrialized nation on healthcare, yet has some of the worst outcomes, including an historic spike in chronic illness and an obesity crisis that threatens to significantly shorten life expectancy.  

"RFK Jr. has been asking the tough questions, and he's been unmoved in the face of big-corporate money campaigns against him. RFK Jr's support is growing, particularly among Moms who are the true frontline healthcare providers. We're looking forward to the final Senate vote and restoring health to America's healthcare system."

Independent Medical Alliance - IMA (formerly Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, FLCCC), is the nation's leading organization of front-line healthcare providers. IMA Action (IMAAction.org) is the 501c4 advocacy arm of the Independent Medical Alliance (IMAHealth.org), a 501c3 non-profit organization.

IMA Action launched a widespread grassroots campaign over the weekend, contacting more than one hundred thousand Louisiana families advocating for confirmation of RFK Jr. to HHS Secretary and helping constituents connect with Senator Cassidy's state offices to express their views. 

And, last week, IMA Action delivered a letter to the U.S. Senate advocating for confirmation of RFK Jr. - a letter which now includes signatures from over 31,000 doctors, healthcare providers, scientists and concerned citizens. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) entered this letter into the official U.S. Senate records.

Additionally, IMA Action undertook a 9-state digital advertising campaign last week advocating for confirmation of RFK Jr. and had a very visible presence at the U.S. Capitol throughout the hearings.
