By the time Trump and RFK Jr. finish with America's so called healthcare system it will be at least twice as bad as it is today.

But, don't just take my word for it.

'Things will start to topple': Report outlines possible public health disaster under Trump

Quote:
A new report from NPR outlines just how quickly public health in the United States could unravel should anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. be confirmed to run the Health and Human Services Department.

NPR spoke with several public health experts who feared that RFK Jr.'s appointment as the nation's top health official could "cause renewed, deadly epidemics of measles, whooping cough, meningitis, or even polio."

James Hodge, a public health law expert at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, said that putting Kennedy in charge of HHS would be a sea change in public health policy -- and not for the better.


Quote:
"The litany of things that will start to topple is profound," he said. "We're going to experience a seminal change in vaccine law and policy."

Lawrence Gostin, a professor of public health law at Georgetown University, was even more blunt about the impact of Kennedy's appointment and declared, "He's going to make America sick again."


Yes, he most certainly will. The next 4 years are going to be a disaster for Americans' health.


Leroy may want a link, Carl. Do you want to post him one?


Surely Leroy knows how to Google things   Undecided

Or, is he too busy obsessing over CP and Frank's obsession with Trump & paedophilia?

You mean Dr Oz, as seen on TV, on Oprah?

I can't possibly imagine, Greggery. Mind you, there's a definite theme. What do all of DL's cabinet picks have in common?

Apart from their shared hatred of Oprah. If I was her, I'd be expecting a visit in the middle of the night. Let's hope her friend Gail manages to put a nighty on in time, eh?

We wouldn't want to see them do their perp walks naked on live TV, now would we?

WITCH HUNT !!!

America have one of the worst health systems in the world. They have had qualified and health experts run the system and yet it is still one of the worst in the world.

But they take pride in their health system and do not want unqualified people running it and ruining their poor record.

Thats the big fear, if RFK can make the system better then the qualified people will look stupid.



Tell us all about your personal experience with the American health care system.

Don't go all sourpuss on us, Mort. Leroy's just saying.

On Day 1, you Septics will have a completely awesome new health system, courtesy of your DL.

You watch. I'm sure Leroy will recant his views completely in another month's time, mkay?

Is that so? Well, I'm offended.

I do hope Leroy manages to talk Frank around. The last thing we want to see is more kiddies getting raped on camera, right?

Despicable stuff. I'd advise Frank to sneak any dirty films into his neighbour's bin on rubbish night.

The last thing we need in our country is yet another naughty old sex tourist.

I trust this puts the matter to rest.

I agree, Y. There's a company in Chi-na with the lion's share of the MAGA cap business.

And don't get me started on Jared and Ivanka. What with Operation Warp Speed, Jared's Saudi Sovereign Wealth Funds and Ivanka's Chinese voting machine parents, the game's stitched up.

Despicable stuff.

I blame the billionaire elites. Imagine what the place would be like without them. It's easy if you try, no?

No fake cures, vitamin supplements, erection enhancers or weird scientific experiments on lungs.

Sure, it could put Alex Jones out of business, but I do feel it's the right thing to do.

As for Elon, I say we let bygones be bygones. Sure he runs $13 bil worth of US federal satellite contracts. Come the end of his term, he'll own a newly privatized NASA.

Not bad for a day's work at the Department Of Government Efficiency, no?

May I ask a question?

Have any of you actually lived in America and used their health services?

Thomas A. Edison said as early as in 1931, “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.”

Never ever, Big Daves. Who could afford to? I know Yanks who buy their pills from vets because their dogs get a better deal on drugs. 

Over in America, the corporates run the joint. The politicians sell the country to the corporates for their campaign funds. Big Tech, big pharma, big DRILL BABY DRILL.

Big Tech and Pharma bought a job in the incoming administration, cooking the books for cheap government contracts. Elon the tech guy, Ramaswami the drug guru, it's a match made in DOGE heaven. 

The oil industry's been sold energy policy for a billion in political donations. All the others on the big fella's team are Fox News talent, bought, sold and paid for by you-know-who.

All of it's on the level. The big fella announced it in public. Rupert, he said, I know you're watching. Elon, he said, get over here.

Rupert was indeed watching. Elon bounced on and delivered his Dark MAGA routine. Big oil just yawned. With their global contracts fixed for years, it hardly matters who's in power. They paid their bil anyway - it was worth it just to shut him up for five minutes.

Once all the applause has wound down, the big fella will pretend he said no such thing. The elites? He'll say. Never heard of them. We're just doing it for the kids.

Then, right on cue, the sycophants and suckholes will echo the message. Like an army of ants, out they'll go, marching in line on their pheromone trails, their antennae buzzing like the frantic drones they are. Ceaseless, relentless, they can clear a rainforest floor in minutes, never once pausing to fathom what on earth they're up to, but do you know?

We will. We'll know exactly what they're doing. The only question I have for you is this:

Will you?

Sure, but first I have a question. How much do you pay to see your doctor?

After that, how much do you pay for your meds?

And when you're done with that, how much do you pay for your health insurance?

Answer me that, and I'll give you my entire history with the American health care system.

Good.

Their system is a dysfunctional mess. Yet both he and Trump are operating from within the very party responsible for creating and perpetuating that chaos. If RFK Jr. starts pushing for changes that genuinely threaten their objectives, his tenure will be short-lived.

It's deeply frustrating because, while the man is undoubtedly a lunatic, he happens to be correct about some health issues.

That said, his body count, fueled by the consequences of his reckless anti-vaccine rhetoric, likely surpasses even the most exaggerated claims about the Clintons.
