Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D., who represents California’s 25th district in the U.S. Congress, has recently addressed a range of topics on his social media platform, from national health care policy to personal reflections and community messages.
On August 19, 2025, Ruiz criticized recent legislative actions by Republicans regarding federal health programs. He stated: “Make no mistake, Republicans will continue to look for ways to break Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act to free up billions in tax breaks for billionaires.
15 million Americans will lose health care under the Big Ugly Law that they just passed, which cuts over $1″.
The following day, August 20, 2025, Ruiz shared a personal story about his motivation for entering medicine and public service during an interview with Nacho Bustillos. He wrote: “Tuve el gusto de conversar con Nacho Bustillos en su pódcast sobre cómo la bondad y generosidad de mi madre me inspiraron a ser médico. Desde que era niño supe que querÃa ayudar
a los demás como ella.
Hoy, ese mismo llamado me inspira a servir a la gente del Distrito 25 de”.
On August 21, 2025, Ruiz extended well wishes to students and families at the start of the school year: “Wishing our students, teachers, and parents a great start to the school year! As a proud dad of twins starting elementary school, I know how exciting, and a little hectic, this week can be.
Here’s to a year full of learning, growth, and new adventures all across #CA25!”
