Mary Trump - The Gutting of American Health

The biggest difference between Donald and Mehmet Oz, Donald’s nominee to head the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) is that Oz has a medical degree and he never attempted a coup against the United States, although I have no doubt he supported it.

Beyond that, Donald and Oz are both cut from the same cloth—they’re con-artists and grifters who enrich themselves by telling lies that hurt people. If Oz does get confirmed to lead the CMS, millions of American lives will be put at risk because, in addition to over-seeing Medicare and Medicaid, Oz would be responsible for much of the Affordable Care Act. Altogether that accounts for the healthcare of about half the country.

If Republican senators abdicate all responsibility for safeguarding the health and well-being of the American people and take the egregious step of confirming Oz as head of CMS and Robert Kennedy as the head of Health and Human Services, much of what keeps Americans safe—from vaccines to food and drug safety to medical research—will be at risk.

Donald clearly wants dangerous people rolling the dice when it comes to the health of the American people as a way to keep us weak, frightened, and preoccupied. This is a strategy straight out of the autocrat playbook.

He went to the hospital and got the very best medical care that was available in the world. This was before vaccines were out and doctors were still learning how to treat Covid. Chump was saved and he never paid a dime for his treatments, but screw everyone else.
