There is a similar alliance of New England states. Health insurers are lining up behind them as well, as their pronouncements are based on science rather than Bobby Kennedy's crazy, worm-infused fantasies.
Hell no!!!
Reminder - RFK Jr. exposes a massive corporate betrayal. Over 100 members of Congress, who took money from Danish giant Novo Nordisk, are pushing to make Medicare fund Ozempic at $1,500/month.
The cost to taxpayers if 74% of obese Americans get it? $3 TRILLION a year.
For half that price, we could give every American 3 organic meals a day & a gym membership. Why are our leaders serving a foreign corporation instead of American farmers and families?
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “We’re about to release dietary guidelines that are going to change the food culture in this country. They’re going to change the kinds of food the military gets. They’re going to change the kind of food our children get. We’re releasing those in December.”
About time!
MAGA logic: justifying an outrageous lie with another outrageous lie. The math works!Geez dpic...he's counting the illegals. That should make you happy.
What will we wear when we all weigh -200 lbs?Geez dpic...he's counting the illegals. That should make you happy.
I'm wearing it now. Between 200 and 205 for years basically with a few short spikes.What will we wear when we all weigh -200 lbs?
A friend told me recently that his wife whose an MD at a major local hospital is seriously considering leaving medicine.
Not because she stopped caring about patients or long hours but because of the pressure from above.
In her system, every diagnosis comes with the expectation of prescribing the drug that matches the code.
If she doesn’t? She gets questioned. Evaluated. Sometimes even financially penalized through performance metrics tied to “quality measures." This sounds noble but really just means “Did you give the patient the medication the system expects?”
He said she's been dealing with it for a while and it seems to get worse every year.
She didn’t go into medicine to be a cog in a pharmaceutical machine. She went in to actually help people.
But the hospital’s incentives don’t reward lifestyle coaching, nutrition conversations, movement prescriptions, or digging into root causes.
There’s no bonus for helping a patient reverse insulin resistance.
But there's plenty tied to metrics on prescribing statins, GLP-1s, antihypertensives, SSRIs, and anything else that fits neatly into a billing code.
And the saddest part? This isn’t rare.
Between pay-for-performance systems, pharma influence, and hospital revenue structures tied to drug utilization, the entire system nudges doctors away from thinking and toward prescribing.
Many MDs feel trapped: If they want to practice slow, thoughtful medicine there’s no time. Or if they want to focus on root causes there’s no billing code.
If they want to avoid unnecessary meds they risk being flagged for “not meeting standards.” So many of the good doctors are quietly slipping away.
And we wonder why chronic disease keeps rising.
A system that incentivizes prescriptions will always produce more prescriptions.
A system that rewards dependency will always create more dependent patients.
And a system that punishes critical thinkers will eventually lose all of them.
My friend’s wife isn’t leaving medicine. She’s being pushed out of it.
And until we fix the incentives, she won’t be the last.

RFK Jr is onto something here for sure.
RFK Jr: Why did "gluten allergies" go up so much in 2006?
"we discovered that Roundup was a desiccant. And what that means, if you spray it on a crop, it will actually dry out the crop. And one of the big enemies of the farmer is that if there's rain around the time of harvest, their crops can get wet, and they get moldy, and then it ruins the entire silo."
"What Monsanto did is they began telling farmers, spray this on the crop, on your wheat, right before harvest or at the time of harvest. And it was so popular that about 85 % of the Roundup that has been used in history has been used since 2006. A large part of that is as a desiccant. And what that meant, is for the first time they're spraying it on food right at harvest."
"Not early in the season when they have a chance to wash off, but actually just before you're going to eat it. And they're spraying it for the first time on wheat because there was no such thing as Roundup Ready Wheat. They started spraying it on wheat as a desiccant. And so 2006 marks the day when suddenly these gluten allergies began exploding. The celiac disease and all these kind of wheat problems that we started seeing in this country."
If you measure it back and say, when did it start? You can look and draw a red line at this 2006 and it's the year that they began spraying it on.
