Health and human Services Minister Robert Kennedy He has a well -documented history of lyingAnd so it was reasonable to believe that he was lying again During his confirmation session in January when he said It is “not a vaccine” and He promised that he would not take the vaccines away. However, it is concerned and wonderful how it was quickly transferred to the removal of the Covid-19 reinforcements that helped millions of Americans avoid dangerously sick from this still existing virus. Last week, The Food and Drug Administration has announced plans To refuse to reach the vaccine for people under the age of 65 years without a basic health condition.
This fits with Kennedy’s long history of concepts that are recommended that the disease is a good Something, falsely claims It strengthens genes gatheringAnd The hint is that it makes the survivors stronger. (In reality , Vaccines enhance comprehensive immunity while The disease often weakens it) But the details of the policy also reveal something about the retro -class policy of Kennedy, which contradicts the history of his family in progress. Josh Marshall’s memo was also noticed from the talk points on Bluezki“I think very much that you will get doctors who tend to ahead of what is a pre -existing condition in this case.” This means, people who want the supporter can circumvent the prohibition of food and drug management by asking the doctor about a prescription.
But much People, including me, He immediately indicated, forcing people to go to the doctor requires time and the money is usually. Previously, most people could have a vaccine, often without any coupay, by improving a pharmacy while shopping in groceries. People who do not have time or money to go to the arduous process to appoint a doctor are more likely to do the working class or poor. Even a middle -class people who can withstand COPAY to find time to do so. This policy converts what was once a 10 -minute process into a half -day ordeal, if you are lucky. In fact, Kennedy does not prohibit the vaccine-it is only sure that wonderful people like itself can reach it.

The slogan “Make America healthy again” – is shortened to “Maha” – has a lot of surface’s attractiveness. Worse, Kennedy is smart in politics ideas that attract attention, Like prohibiting artificial food dyesThis is unlikely to happen but find a lot of titles, which misleads people to think that it is serious about improving public health. However, when looking at Kennedy’s empty speech and lying on his actions, another narration shows: it takes away health care, especially focusing on limiting access to women, minorities, children and workers. In the latest episode of my cross on YouTube, “Standing Room Only”, the Lindsay Beyerstein journalist discussed the extent of Kennedy.

Of course, the most prominent attack by Republicans on health care is the new draft tax law for Donald Trump, Which aims to kick more than 10 million qualified people from Medicaid. The mechanism of cheating people from their coverage is the fake “work requirements”. In fact, it is a file Papers Requirements that use the red tape to prevent qualified people from reaching advantages. “This administrative bureaucracy and the devastating amount of the poor will create, although they are qualified, they will lose coverage so that Congress can fund the tax cuts of the wealthy,” Marpeeth Mousomi from George Washington University Washington Post said. Ironically, the most affected people are those who work full time, because they have the least free time to move in the papers maze.
Kennedy, who grew up in a famous progressive family, definitely knows this. But he sarcastically joined the lie that the qualified people “betray” the regime Through Petning a New York Times Op-Ed earlier This month, which falsely claimed, “adults who are able to luxury do not work at all” and “we do not even ask them.” Kennedy and his participating authors are to depict readers who depict lazy youth who refuse to work so that they can sit in playing video games. We know that because Jesse Watters has put forward the vibrant model for this message on Fox News, claiming to the beneficiaries of Medicaid “playing the soft ball on the weekend, and selling euphoria on the side” and “not” looking for a job. ” As if young people do not need money other than paying their medical bills.
but, John Knefel explained at Media Matters“92 % of people in Medicaid are working, suffering from disability, or perform duties – such as going to school or care – that can be eligible to obtain an exemption from work requirements.” These are 92 % at risk of loss of access due to the requirements of the papers maze. Other 8 %, four out of five women. They are not young or lazy. On average, they are 41 years old and are forced recently to leave the workforce, and often cares about family members, especially the elderly. Most of them have a high school diploma or less, and their average annual income is $ 0. This is not a typo. This is a group of very poor women.
This is where the traditional classic of the Republican Party and racist are mixed with uninterrupted descendants of cloned clones. It is repeatedly talking about the disabled as if they were useless parasites. During his confirmation session, Kennedy said this about people with disabilities or chronic diseases, a category that includes any person with diabetes or asthma: “A healthy person has a thousand dreams. A person who has only one.” That was his text note, and until thenHe was arguing that the person who had any chronic health condition, from someone in a wheelchair to someone who needs a daily drug to manage depression, has no life worth living. The “sin” shall be punishable by the care of the disabled family members in this dark, anti -human view.
It will not make America healthy to allow people to die because they do not have wealth to pay health care costs from its pocket. Darwinism was a bad idea in the twentieth century. It is even stupid now. We have contracts of medical evidence that it turns out that strong health care systems work is how to improve public health. The history of the entire public health research shows that the “Rising Tide” model is not just humanity, but it is more effective than the “execution of the herd”. The disease spreads, often directly through viruses or indirectly by exhausting family resources, Stress on the people who are healthy. Getting rid of health care from people. Kennedy believes that unpopular patients will not make others healthier. This is not even the purpose of the discounts in Medicaid, which is related to financing the huge tax cuts of the wealthy. Withdrawing a few food dyes from your snack is not a substitute for what Americans need, which is to support health care for everyone to live a full and fruitful life.
