Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., proposed a bill Thursday that would prohibit health care providers from adopting racially discriminatory policies in their practices at the behest of the federal government. 

The legislation is necessary to prevent the Biden administration from using the government’s Medicare and Medicaid programs to advance the left’s “anti-racist” doctrine, Palmer said in an exclusive interview Tuesday with The Daily Signal.  

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, testifying Wednesday before a House Energy and Commerce Committee panel, claimed his agency doesn’t have any policies explicitly “anti-racist” in nature, but the health policy group Do No Harm contends Becerra is either lying or uninformed.  

Monday, U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) joined a group of House Republicans on a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The visit, led by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Cal.), was about highlighting the continuing crisis at the border and how rescinding Title 42 would exacerbate the problem.

During the press conference, Palmer talked about the human cost of open borders.

Representative Gary Palmer (R-AL), the chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, said he believed China was rethinking its aggressive posture regarding Taiwan given the struggles Russia, under Russian President Vladimir Putin, has faced with the Ukraine invasion.

Palmer, who was a guest on Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, said Russia’s difficulties, combined with the threat of sanctions and the withdrawal of U.S. investment from China, could be what is deterring Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Recently, some lawmakers on Capitol Hill are saying the United States should consider putting U.S. military boots on the ground in Ukraine as Russia's invasion continues.

U.S. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) was one of the latest to say it was an option that must be seriously considered by the Biden administration.
