With the public release of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “MAHA Strategy” delayed and because his May 2025 “Make America Healthy Again” report fundamentally mischaracterized or ignored key issues in U.S. public health, Defend Public Health has released an alternative to Kennedy’s distorted and unreliable approach. DPH’s report is titled Improving the Health of Americans Together: An evidence-based framework for addressing the root causes of illness in the U.S. As a shorthand, we're calling it the IHAT report.

Give the IHAT report a read! It's a hopeful alternative to the inhumane, insufficient 'priorities' of MAHA, which will leave tens of millions hungry, without health care, and dismantle the public health protections we all rely on.

NOW, we need you to share it with your Members of Congress and tell them, without hesitation: REJECT MAHA, ADOPT IHAT to improve the health of all Americans.
