Stuff like this is why the American people have absolutely no faith in their institutions.

I can see why Make America Healthy Again was such a popular movement.

The U.S. health plan before RFK:

Step 1: Feed Americans unhealthy food with questionable ingredients.

Step 2: Encourage sloth and gluttony on a popular level.

Step 3: Big Pharma creates a “cure” for obesity.

Step 4: Taxpayers money goes to pay for this miracle cure.

Step 5: Big pharma profits.

Do I have that right? Am I overreacting to this?

The same folks in the Biden administration who are calling RFK Jr. a “kook” for MAHA are pushing these big pharma weight loss drugs because the American people would rather take shots to lose weight than buckle down and actually be healthy.

RFK wants to remove additives, remove chemicals, and other unnatural ingredients from our food supply to help make Americans healthy. The regime wants to keep all that stuff but sell “health” in the form of a pill. Or a shot in this case.

Okay, let me get to this proposal to have Ozempic covered by Medicare and Medicaid.

The costly proposal from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services sets the stage for a potential showdown between the powerful pharmaceutical industry and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an outspoken opponent of the weight-loss drugs who, as President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the agency, could try to block the measure.

While the rule would give millions of people access to weekly injectables that have helped people shed pounds so quickly that some have labeled them miracle drugs, it would cost taxpayers as much as $35 billion over the next decade.

We’re willing to spend $35 billion to give people weight loss drugs? And the Biden HHS is doing this on the way out the door? Why?

Is it to possibly make Trump and RFK look bad when they stop this wasteful program? Could that be the motivation?

‘It’s a good day for anyone who suffers from obesity,’ U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra told The Associated Press in an interview.

I just want to pause here and recognize the fact that the Health Secretary of the US just opened a statement essentially saying that it’s a good day to be a fatty.

Anyways, he continues:

‘It’s a game changer for Americans who can’t afford these drugs otherwise.

This proposal would allow Americans and their doctors to determine the best path forward so they can lead healthier lives, without worrying about their ability to cover these drugs out-of-pocket, and ultimately reduce health care costs to our nation,’ the White House said in a statement.

Yeah, it will just come out of YOUR pocket as a taxpayer. But not out of the welfare recipient’s pocket.

By the way, as the great philosopher of our time, Oliver Anthony, pointed out, our taxes are also going to pay for these welfare recipients to fatten themselves up.
