In December 2019, The Washington Post detailed how an editorial in the Billings Gazette against Medicare-for-all by Gross[5] was drafted with the help of a lobbying group, Partnership for America’s Health Care Future. Gross said she writes less than half of her op-eds.[6]

Gross, who acknowledged writing less than half of her op-eds, said that when she worked at Planned Parenthood, she frequently provided “templates” for young people who needed help drafting statements, adding that this practice occurs elsewhere as well. Gross also said she listened to MacDonald’s description of the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future and supported the group’s message.
