Congressman Try Carter chairs the Congressional Men's Health Caucus. I wrote to him, to ask that he and the Caucus approach President Trump to create a White House Men's Health Initiative, and fund it with $100,000,000. . At this time last year, Biden gave $100,000,000 to a White House women's health research initiative, and zero dollars for men's health.
