I do know America is as unhealthy as it has ever been. Why would we not want to make some changes and be extra critical of the things that got us here? Food sources, drugs companies, etc.
RFK hearing day - So do we want transparency and accountability?
- Thread starter naturalbornhawk
- Start date
It still cracks me up that some idiots on here thought RFK Jr would make a good POTUS.
Again, yes. However, the administration has a lot of influence on that. Will he support cuts to Medicaid or will he and the administration fight for the money? Will he utilize the broad authority he has to not make obtaining funds as a state too difficult?
how are you judging that?
because 100 years ago, americans' average life expectancy was 58
Name a scientific study that shows vaccines cause autism. Not some crackpot podcast of people spewing half truths. RFK himself is a crackpot, he "chose" to learn from a reputable scientist and then bent the information to fit a narrative that pushed his narrative and promote himself.
The research i've done is inconsequential. I am a teacher. Research is done by scientists and doctors. Please by all means cite a study that is reputable that proves your beliefs.
You watching social media and listening to crack pots that listen to the other crack pots you also listen to is confirmation bias.
Medicaid recipients do pay premiums. The maximum amount is quite low however, capped at 5% of adjusted income I believe…He said he was going to improve Medicaid, that would be lie if they are going to cut Medicaid. That is what he kept say over and over, Trump wants him to improve medicaid and the premiums are too high. He was greatly confusing Medicare, Insurance and medicaid. Medicaid patients do not pay a premium. Beyond being greatly misinformed and uneducated on the topic, he either out right lied if he knows Trump plans to cut Medicaid funding through congress, or he has no idea how to do the job. The real topic kept coming back to the expanded Medicaid, and how many individuals would lose coverage if it was cut by the federal government. He even acknowledged several would lose coverage if this would occur, and the implications of this.
jesus. if everyone and everything is corrupt:
why has life expectancy gone up? I know that doesn't fit aaron rogers, joe rogans, and the maga view of things.
US life expectancy
1980: 73.7
1990: 75.9
2000: 76.75
2010: 78.49
2020: 78.93
2024: 79.25
2025: trending up again.
being oblivious to our national health situation is just stupid.
Correction doesn't happen.
political financial influence doesn't happen
Politicians are always honest if they are Democrats
I pledge allegiance to support Democrats no matter what what they say or how obvious they are wrong.
That covers it right?
Based on what? Obesity rates? Did you actually think about this? You know children used to drop like flies?
Yikes...
All of the super smart people have figured out these conspiracies. The narrative. LOL
I pledge allegiance to the integrity of the democratic party.
What has happened to Bob Melendez and Michael Madigan is in of itself a conspiracy against all honest liberals, and all republicans like Charles Grassley who vote their conviction and are not influenced by 1.4 million dollars.
Glad you are a massive minority that will fade into the annals of history similar to the refrigerator mothers theory that being cold and unemotional caused autism. There will be repercussions of all of this, what and how will be interesting to watch.
Sure, just put in someone who has hit drugs (illegal) hard in his life, admittedly so, is not really that smart, and had over 50 mistresses during his first marriage that caused his wife to commit suicide. Put some one in better than this idiot. Besides he will question none of this, just try to destroy the system.
you have to be a blind devotee of the democrat party if you think chemtrails are bullshit and cell phones didn't activate covid vaccines
Please tell me how you are an expert on our healthcare system? I want to know.
You say it is a disaster in nearly every way. Give us a bunch of examples and I am talking about the actual science of medicine and the care we get. I dont need to know about how crappy our private health insurance system is as it is just terrible. Medicare has an administrative cost of 3% while most private health insurance companies have admin costs of about 30% with huge salaries, etc. And they purposely try to deny and delay payments to patients and care givers.
I will wait to hear your answers and examples.
You are asking the wrong question. What would the expectancy be if a more healthy approach were used.
M and M's for everyone!
What do you mean her motives. She was a Federal Public Servant as Ambassador to Austraila until 8 days ago on Jan. 20th. Do you know that? It would be wrong for her to say something but she is a private citizen now and knows more about Bobby Jr than about anybody.
RFK isn't the answer.
RFK Jr. Says Heroin Made Him a Top-of-Class Student in Resurfaced Clip: 'It Worked for Me'
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that using heroin as a student improved his academic performance in a resurfaced interview that has made waves on social media
Says would still use heroin. What a role model.
I watched a couple more videos of his performance today.
I shit you not, that man is bat shit crazy. It looked like he was hooked up to some sort of remote controlled electrical shock collar and every time a question came his way, the remote button was pressed and out came the "this is what we want you to say" answer.
He should not receive a single solitary vote to confirm. Not. One.

Oh so we're making fun other people's uncontrollable neurological conditions now? How about you grow up just a little? Did you bully others when you were in school too?
At the very least, she has a financial vested interest in doing what she did, that's what I mean.
Duh, they were opponents, then they joined forces to make the vote too big to rig. WTH do you expect?
The biggest issue here is that much of the science that is needed to adequately indicate safety simply doesn't exist. I'd be happy to expand on that, or you can just read through the other thread. That was my initial claim, then you jumped to autism, which is fine but that claim wasn't specifically focusing on autism.
Since you brought up autism though, this publication just came out that we were talking about in another thread:
Vaccination and Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Study of Nine-Year-Old Children Enrolled in Medicaid - Science, Public Health Policy and the Law
Background: Vaccinations required for school attendance have increased nearly threefold since the 1950s, now targeting 17 infectious diseases. However, the
publichealthpolicyjournal.com
No it's really not, particularly if you have kids of your own. I wouldn't just blindly trust given how obviously corrupt the pharma industry has become. You should have learned your lesson during COVID that you can't just blindly trust the health authorities / regulatory institutions but I guess you missed that 4 year-long lesson.
See above, and I have (and others) have posted many, many more studies that support my position.
I have read that an enormous amount of Medicaid spending goes to treatment of chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity related conditions.
You’re correct about infant mortality back in the day, but while that has improved dramatically we now have about a third of the country classified as obese.
He said he was going to improve Medicaid, that would be lie if they are going to cut Medicaid. That is what he kept say over and over, Trump wants him to improve medicaid and the premiums are too high
From the 'greatly misinformed and uneducated' folks at Medicaid.gov:
States have the option to charge premiums and to establish out of pocket spending (cost sharing) requirements for Medicaid enrollees. Out of pocket costs may include copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, and other similar charges. Maximum out of pocket costs are limited, but states can impose higher charges for targeted groups of somewhat higher income people.
I'm not making fun of him. Not at all. If he's got something that causes how he looks and acts...fine, that explains a lot.
I still believe he should never be confirmed for this position. He IS looney tunes.
