I like Staffies, tennis, coffee, wounds and wine. Wound care NP x a very long time. Bibliophile. I don’t have time for nonsense. People waste a ton of psychic energy on stuff that never affects them. Move along and let people be happy. 💙💙💙

Private insurance defenders, do you really believe that 1/3 of healthcare claims are for unnecessary or fraudulent things?

Remember, Kennedy is not a vaccine “skeptic.” He has said that there is no safe or effective vaccine. He represents a profound health risk to the nation.
Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr. claimed CNN “lies about” flu deaths “every year.”
RFK Jr.: “I don’t think Sanjay Gupta and Anderson Cooper actually want to lie, but it’s part of their gestalt. …They’re supposed to push the flu vaccine. They’re supposed to scare the hell out of everybody.”

I just spotted the trend. Trump’s health agency picks deny the existence of diseases or blame them on lifestyle choices.
Kill the ACA, change the guidance, & insurance will stop covering them, including Medicare.
Bye-bye, insulin. Dr. Oz and RFK say diabetes is your fault and your responsibility.
