Actually Jeb Bush Loves Women's Health, Is Women's Health's Biggest Fan
LatestA day after saying he’s “not sure we need half a billion dollars for women’s health issues,” Jeb Bush is quickly moving to clarify that he actually he loves women’s health. He’s women’s health’s biggest fan. He has all women’s health’s albums. Pap smears, breast exams, all those things, he thinks they’re whatever combination of words won’t make you mad anymore.
