#RFKJr Drew $4 Million in Book Advances From Publisher Who Also Monetized #MAHA

A new disclosure also shows $210,000 in consulting fees paid to #CherylHines, the “health” secretary’s wife, by one of several MAHA-affiliated groups capitalizing from his agenda.

Total BS

The #Trump admin has ejected more than 750,000 enrollees from the #AffordableCareAct [ #ACA #ObamaCare ] #HealthInsurance marketplaces, #JDVance announced Tuesday, claiming that many were receiving premium subsidies they did not qualify for & that some were not even real people.

Large & small #employers are bracing for what looks to be the sharpest increase in #healthcare costs in more than two decades. The cost per worker is projected to go up an average of 11% next year, or somewhat lower if #workers’ #insurance benefits are reduced, according to a #US survey released Wednesday.

Employer #Healthcare Costs Are Expected to Spike in 2027

A new #US survey anticipates an average increase of 11% unless benefits are cut, the highest rate in decades. Other findings also predict a sharp rise.

The letter raises questions about how truthful #RFKJr was in testimony before #Congress. During an arduous confirmation process where he needed the support of some skeptical #Republicans to advance, Kennedy also pledged to maintain #vaccine policies that, once in office, he changed.

#RFKJr, then a prominent #AntiVax activist, preceded the visit with a letter to the Samoan prime minister requesting to study the Pacific island nation’s #measles, #mumps & #rubella [ #MMR ] #vaccines after the deaths of 2 children who had received them. In the letter, he used the words vaccine or vaccination 8 times.

The disease was declared eliminated in the #US in 2000, but more cases have been recorded in the past year & a half than there have been in the previous 25 years combined. Experts expect the US will lose its elimination status, or the recognition by the WHO that #measles is no longer transmitting regularly within a country.

Two people have died due to #measles in #Pennsylvania, the state Department of #Health said Tuesday. Both individuals were unvaccinated.

These are the first #US #deaths from measles reported in 2026 and the first in Pennsylvania in 35 years.

To get confirmed, Overton will have to win approval from a narrowly Republican-led #Senate & face questions from the Senate #health committee. Its chair, #Republican Sen #BillCassidy, a physician from Louisiana, has been a vocal critic of some of #Trump’s actions to sow doubt in #vaccinations, including his recent order.

Overton has been critical of #abortion pills &, if confirmed, would be positioned to roll back #FDA rules that made the pills more accessible. US abortion opponents have expressed frustration that the #Trump admin hasn’t moved to stem the flow of #AbortionMedication prescribed online, a situation they view as undermining state #AbortionBans.

At an Oval Office event to promote that order, she stood by #Trump as he FALSELY suggested the number or timing of #vaccines could play a role in rising rates of #autism spectrum disorder, even as #scientific consensus & decades of #studies have firmly concluded there is NO LINK.

In recent months, she has appeared with #Trump to unveil major projects, including some of his “most favored nation” deals with drug companies to lower prices to those of other developed countries & his recent controversial #vaccine order, which sought to split the combined measles, mumps & rubella, or #MMR, vaccine into 3 separate immunizations AGAINST the advice of medical groups.

Overton attended medical school at the University of New Mexico & has a doctoral degree in clinical investigation from Johns Hopkins University, according to her LinkedIn profile. Before joining #Trump’s 2nd admin, she served as chief #policy officer at the #conservative think tank America First Policy Institute.

#Trump picks Dr. Heidi Overton, a White House aide & #Trump #loyalist, to lead the #FDA

A medical doctor & deputy director of the White House Domestic #Policy Council who worked on several of Trump’s 2nd-term “health” initiatives, Overton has become a trusted figure in the admin & a champion of Trump’s goals [ #disenfranchisement of the #poor & #eugenics ].

The new draft explicitly acknowledges that the #Trump administration’s earlier #vaccine directives have been “delayed due to litigation” & instructs federal agencies to advance the new recommendations “to the fullest extent allowable by law.”

#PublicHealth #medicine #RFKJr #affordability #CostOfLiving #law #policy #insurance #HealthyIfYoureWealthy #eugenics

A federal judge in March blocked the admin from implementing those changes, siding with major medical organizations that argued “Health” Secy #RFKJr had unlawfully changed vaccine policy & improperly reconstituted the federal panel of outside experts that advises the government on #vaccines.

…The potential order obtained by WaPo would represent the latest effort by the #Trump admin to sharply reshape the nation’s childhood immunization policies. In January, the admin moved to reduce the number of #vaccines routinely recommended for all #children, bypassing the government’s traditional process for changing the schedule.


#PublicHealth #medicine #RFKJr #affordability #CostOfLiving #law #policy #insurance #HealthyIfYoureWealthy #eugenics

“To the maximum extent feasible, all childhood immunizations should be administered at separate medical visits,” the draft says. The order would also pursue a long-standing priority of #Trump’s∶ breaking up the combined #measles, mumps & rubella vaccine into 3 separate shots. It says the #MMR #vaccine should be administered as separate shots once such products become available domestically.
#PublicHealth #medicine #RFKJr #affordability #CostOfLiving #law #policy #insurance #HealthyIfYoureWealthy

Under the draft EO obtained by WaPo, dubbed “Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations,” the White House would divide #vaccines into 3 categories & direct federal agencies to take steps to advance them.

It calls for rethinking the long-standing practice of grouping vaccines to reduce the number of #medical appointments #parents of small #children need to schedule [& pay for].

🚨🚨 Trump admin EO will upend nation’s #ChildhoodVaccineSchedule 🚨🚨

Trump has pushed to narrow which #vaccines are given to children & split shots into multiple #doctor appointments.

The #Trump admin is preparing an executive order that would upend decades of #federal guidance on which vaccines are given to #children & asks #states to reconsider #school vaccine requirements.

While the latest national data shows that about 93% of kindergartners have received the #MMR shot, that protection is uneven∶ Some communities have #vaccination rates approaching 100%, while others have rates below 80%.

#Measles, one of the most #contagious #diseases, is exceptionally good at exploiting those pockets with weak immunity.

Millions lose #FoodStamps under #Trump cuts. #Arizona is hardest hit.

More than 4.7 million people nationwide have lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [ #SNAP ] benefits, also known as food stamps, since Trump’s signature #tax & #spending #law took effect last July, according to data through March from the #US Department of Agriculture [ #USDA ] — about 11% of participants.

#RFKJr Is Driving a Vast Inquiry Into #Vaccines Despite Recent Public Silence

“Health” Secy Robert F Kennedy Jr has toned down his public criticism of vaccines, under orders from the White House. But inside the #HHS, a sprawling “research” effort is top priority.

#HHS declined to answer a series of questions for this article, instead offering a general statement that the agency “remains committed to protecting & strengthening #Medicaid for those who rely on it…while eliminating waste, fraud, & abuse.”

Concerns about what the interim rule from #RFKJr could look like:

A person with debilitating #ChronicPain, or a serious #AutoimmuneDisease, may appear “able-bodied” by the standards RFK Jr appears poised to implement—even as they face hurdles in qualifying for #SocialSecurity #disability due to not being considered #disabled “enough”.

This also highlights the cruelty of Nebraska’s implementation of work requirements before the Jan 1, 2027 deadline.

Especially because an interim rule from the #HHS Secretary #RFKJr is not even due until June 1.

#Medicaid #WorkRequirements do not increase employment. Instead, the administrative burden of work requirements only serves to kick people off this governmental #HealthInsurance. Additionally, a majority of people on Medicaid, who are not on Supplemental Security Income, work full or part-time jobs. This underlines how rhetoric around work requirements is just false.

New #Trump #ACA Plans Increase Family Deductibles to $31,000

#Trump announces outlines of #healthcare plan in a taped video message Thursday that he wants #Congress to consider.

When he ran for president in 2024, Trump said he had only “concepts of a plan” to address #health care. His new proposal, which is short on any specifics, appeared to be a wish list rather than ready #legislation.

It’s still just #ConceptsOfAPlan.
